The Palestinian militant group Hamas on Thursday said it has distributed Israeli hostages across several districts of Gaza City.

The organisation’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, said the Israeli offensive in the city will ensure that none of the hostages return to Israel.
Hamas will have no regard for the lives of the abductees “as long as [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu decides to kill them”, the group added.
It also threatened Israel’s military, saying it has “prepared thousands of ambushes and explosive devices”.
“Gaza will be a graveyard for your soldiers,” the military wing said.
