Hamas claims three Israeli hostages were killed in IDF bombardment of Gaza before truce

Hamas today claimed three Israeli hostages were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza before the truce was announced.

It comes after Hamas said they are willing to extend a truce for four more days which would give them time to locate and free more Israeli hostages held by other terror groups.

A current truce is scheduled to expire early on Thursday after a six-day pause in the deadly conflict between Israel and Hamas, which was sparked by the terrorists massacring 1,200 Israelis on October 7.

So far 89 captives have been released and another ten are due to be freed on Wednesday night ahead of end of the temporary truce at 7am tomorrow.

Hamas terrorists still hold at least eight children as hostages in Gaza as the ceasefire enters its final day.
