Hamas warns IDF 'aggression' in Gaza could endanger hostages slated to be released under emerging deal

Hamas’s military wing, the Izz a-Din al-Qassam Brigades, warns that Israel’s continuing airstrikes and shelling in Gaza, despite the announcement of a ceasefire deal, endanger hostages who are slated to be freed under the nascent agreement.

“Any aggression and shelling at this stage by the enemy could turn the freedom of a prisoner into a tragedy,” the terror group says in a post on Telegram.

Israel is still holding off from officially declaring that a ceasefire-hostage release deal announced yesterday by mediators has been reached with Hamas, insisting that details remained to be finalized and that the terror group is throwing last-minute wrenches into the negotiations.
