A leading source from the armed wing of Hamas has told Al Jazeera Arabic that due to Israel’s military operation, most of the Israeli captives held in northern Gaza “are now missing”.

The source added that Qassam Brigades “had repeatedly warned against reaching this result” and criticised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli army.

“[Qassam Brigades] once again holds the enemy government and its army fully responsible for the lives and fate of their prisoners,” the source said.
