According to the Israeli army, Noa Argamani, the 26-year-old hostage in Gaza who appeared in three videos published by Hamas, is alive, writes Times of Israel. Military spokesman Hagari stated that Hamas' claim that the military struck a building where the 3 hostages, Itay, Yossi and Noa , were held, killing the first two, is false. «Itay was not killed by us. It's a lie,” Hagari said. “The building where they were prisoners was not attacked.” «We don't strike if we know there are hostages. We hit targets close to that place."
Meanwhile, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reports that 25 people were killed and dozens more injured in Israeli bombings carried out last night in various areas of the Gaza Strip.
Local medical sources report 11 victims of air raids on a house in Mirage, north of the southern city of Rafah; eight people died following a bombing near the Civil Protection headquarters in Khan Yunis, in the center of the Strip; four victims were caused by a raid on the Bureij refugee camp, also in the central area of the Palestinian enclave; two people died in a bombing in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza city. The death toll from Israeli attacks on the Strip in the last 24 is at least 132 deaths, again according to Palestinian medical sources cited by Wafa.
