Hamas says hostage guards in Gaza are operating under new instructions

Hamas’ armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, announced that they have been following new instructions since June on how to handle hostages if Israeli forces approach their locations in Gaza. This announcement follows the recovery of six hostages’ bodies in Rafah, who were said to have been shot dead by their captors as Israeli forces closed in. Abu Ubaida, spokesperson for al-Qassam Brigades, did not provide specific details on the new guidelines.
