Two Israeli citizens being held in Gaza
- 9 years ago
Two Israeli citizens are being held in the Gaza Strip, at least one of them by the Hamas militant group, Israeli authorities said on Thursday.
Avraham Mangisto “independently” crossed the border fence into the Gaza Strip on September 7 last year, nearly two weeks after the end of the Israel-Gaza war, the Israeli defence body responsible for Palestinian civilian affairs said, without giving further details of why he crossed into the Palestinian territory.
The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) said that “according to credible intelligence,” Mangisto is being held “against his will” by Hamas.
A spokesman for Hamas, Salah Bardawil said “We don’t have any information about it. Even if is true, we don’t have instructions to talk about it,” he said.
