The Palestinian Hamas movement is currently holding about 215 Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip, Israel Defense Forces spokesman Doron Spielman said. His words are quoted by TASS.
He noted that there is no information which of them is alive.
“We are trying to get intelligence, but we know that many of them may have died. It is important to say that those who are alive can be killed at any moment,” he said.
It was previously reported that most of the hostages that Hamas will release on Saturday are children. According to officials in Israel, a total of eight children are planned to be released, and the total number of hostages to be released is 13. They have already been included in the appropriate lists.
On Friday at 7.00 local time (8.00 Moscow time) a truce between the Israel Defense Forces and Hamas came into force. Previously, a group of hostages, also consisting of 13 people, which included women and children, had already been handed over to the Israeli side.
According to the terms of the truce, 200 trucks with aid and four with fuel and household gas will enter Gaza every day. Hamas also announced that Israel had committed to suspending aviation flights for 6 hours, but said that combat troops would be on full combat readiness.
Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said that the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip would not last long, and subsequent hostilities would last at least two months.
