The Brigades stated that the two hostages were killed Monday by Israeli airstrikes on the city of Rafah at the southern end of the Gaza Strip.

The occupation doesn’t want the return of the hostages except in coffins, says Hamas officials, adding this is because the Israeli regime is not interested in any peace talks but wants the war on Gaza, which is now in its nine month, to continue.

The two deaths mean the number of hostages held by Hamas goes down to 118 and this is not the first time Israeli warplanes targeted its own hostages.
