****** says guards ******* ******** and wounded two others

******’s military wing says that two of its guards have shot and ******* one ******** male ******** held in Gaza and seriously wounded two female hostages.

The ******** military said in response that it did “not have any intelligence information that allows us to refute or confirm ******’s claims”.

Abu Ubaida, the spokesman for the al-Qassam Brigades, said on Telegram that the shootings had happened in two separate incidents and that “attempts are being made to save” the lives of those wounded.

He did not identify the hostages or give more details about when or where the attacks occurred, saying an investigation was under way.

He blamed the incident on what he said were ******** “massacres” of Palestinians.

The ******** military said: “We will continue to examine and verify the credibility of the message and will update with any more information that we obtain.”

This is the first time that ****** has said that its guards have ******* hostages during the continuing war in Gaza. Previously, it has said that hostages have been ******* by ******** air strikes.

In the past, ******* has dismissed ****** statements on the deaths of hostages as psychological warfare.

According to ******** tallies, 251 people were kidnapped during the ******-led attacks on 7 October in which some 1,200 people in southern ******* were *******.

It is thought that 111 of the hostages abducted by ****** remain in Gaza, including the bodies of 39 who the ******** military says are *****.

Another two ******** civilians who independently entered the ************ territory are also being held, as well as the bodies of two ******** soldiers who were ******* in the Gaza war in 2014.

At least 39,929 people have been ******* in Gaza during the current conflict, according to the territory’s ******-run health ministry.

******’s statement comes as talks aimed at ending the war and bringing home remaining hostages are due to resume in Cairo or Doha on Thursday.

******* has said that it will send a delegation to meet mediators from the US, Egypt and Qatar.

****** has said that it does not plan to send negotiators, and has instead called on mediators to present a plan to implement what it agreed following earlier rounds of talks.
