Middle East Crisis> Israel’s Military Says 4 More Hostages in Gaza Are Dead, Killed Months Ago

Israel’s military said on Sunday that four more hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip were dead, killed months ago, and that the militant group was lying about their condition.

The Israeli military said it had received information from a “reliable source” that the four hostages, who were captured in a cross-border raid in 2006, were killed in 2014.

The military said it had informed the families of the hostages of the information, but did not provide any details about the source of the information.

Hamas has denied that the hostages are dead and has accused Israel of fabricating the information to justify its military operations in the Gaza Strip.

The hostages, who include an Israeli soldier and two civilians, were captured in a cross-border raid in 2006 and have been held by Hamas ever since.

The Israeli military has carried out numerous airstrikes and ground operations in the Gaza Strip in recent years, including a major offensive in 2014 that killed more than 2,200 Palestinians, the majority of whom were civilians.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, has been ongoing since 2007, when Hamas seized control of the territory from the Palestinian Authority.

Israel and Hamas have fought three wars since then, with the most recent conflict in 2014 resulting in widespread destruction and loss of life in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military has said it is committed to the safe return of the hostages and has offered to exchange them for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.

Hamas has rejected the offer and has demanded the release of all Palestinian prisoners held by Israel as a condition for any deal.

The Israeli military has also accused Hamas of using the hostages as human shields and of using them as bargaining chips in its negotiations with Israel.

The Israeli military has not provided any evidence to support its claims about the hostages’ deaths, and it is not clear how the information was obtained.

The Israeli military has previously claimed that Hamas was lying about the condition of the hostages, but it has not provided any evidence to support those claims.
