The report stated that the attack was carried out by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and allegedly targeted specifically a vehicle.

Hamas said that they would share further details of the alleged hostage deaths once "the fate of the rest of the wounded becomes clear."

Armed with humour and tentacles, a group of Jewish protesters demonstrated outside the office of Jenny Leong, a Green MP who claimed the "Jewish lobby" have its "tentacles" in places of power.

The charges against Hamas include genocide, kidnapping, crimes of sexual violence, and torture.

Clara Marman, along with her sister Gabriela Leimberg and her daughter Mia, were released from captivity by Hamas in the fifth round of prisoner exchange, leaving behind their family.

Israeli special forces rescued the two hostages from Hamas early on Monday morning in the heart of the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

In the statement published by Hamas on Monday, there is no mention of the rescue of the kidnapped individuals.

Although there were still some "significant" gaps to close, the official said, adding, "It's pretty much there.”
