At least 1,400 people in Israel have been killed since Hamas’ surprise terror attack on Oct. 7.
Hamas is currently holding 200 hostages, with about 50 more kidnapping victims being held by other “resistance factions and in other places,” Hamas’ military spokesman said in a televised statement Monday, according to local media reports.
An “integrated and coordinated attack from the air, sea and land” that Israel Defense Forces announced Saturday they are preparing for “doesn’t scare us and we are ready for it,” the terrorist group spokesman said in Monday’s video.
Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was overheard telling IDF servicemen “the next stage is coming” during a visit to two of the kibbutzes that were ravaged by Hamas terrorists.
