Hamas releases a video announcing the death of two Israeli hostages seized in October. The footage features a woman hostage, Noa Argamani, revealing their deaths under duress. Israel's military denies responsibility, calling it a "brutal use of innocent hostages." The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's armed wing, attributes the deaths to "Zionist army's bombing." The situation exacerbates tensions in the Israel-Hamas conflict. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant accuses Hamas of applying "psychological pressure," ruling out a Gaza ceasefire. The international community watches closely as the humanitarian crisis escalates in the region.
