The spokesman for the military wing of Hamas says one more Israeli captive has died in the Gaza Strip because of conditions created by Israel.
The Qassam Brigades spokesman said Begiv Buchhataf, 34, died as a result of a lack of food and medicine.
“We previously warned the enemy prisoners were suffering from the same conditions as our people: hunger and deprivation from food and medicine,” Abu Obeida said.
Qassam Brigades also released a video of the captive with the message, “Although he survived the Israeli army’s attacks, he did not escape the lack of food and medicine”.
Hamas announced in early March that seven captives held in Gaza had been killed as a result of Israel’s bombardment of the besieged enclave.
