Three hostages were killed, including a US citizen in the Israeli military operation in which four hostages were freed, al-Qassam Brigades said in a video posted on its Telegram channel. The group did not release the names of those said to be killed, but the video showed what appeared to be three unidentifiable bodies with censor bars over their faces. “Your captives will not be released unless our prisoners are freed,” the video added.
