The Israeli army said that one of its soldiers imprisoned by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip since October 7 has been confirmed dead. The statement did not mention details about the circumstances of the soldier’s death, amid conflicting accounts in the Israeli media about whether he died in Gaza or in the events of last October 7.
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of the Hamas movement, had previously confirmed the killing of a number of Israeli prisoners and detainees.
