CNN —Three hostages rescued by the Israeli military during a deadly raid in Gaza were held captive by a journalist, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) alleged Sunday, without providing evidence to support their claim.
More than 200 people were killed in the Israeli raid, according to Gazan authorities.
The four rescued hostages are in “good medical condition” and are receiving medical attention, according to the IDF.
More than 70 hostages held in Gaza since Hamas’ deadly surprise attack on October 7 are believed to be alive.
More than 100 hostages were freed under a temporary truce last year, while Israel has rescued seven hostages by military means.
