Hamas announced just now the death of the “Israeli” captive Judith Weinstein, 70 years old, after injuries sustained by “Israeli” bombing that targeted the facility where she and another captive were held in a month ago – a statement said just now on official telegram channel of their military spokesperson Abu Obaida.

“[Judith Weinstein] later succumbed to her injuries due to a lack of intensive medical care in care facilities, as the enemy destroyed hospitals in the Gaza Strip, rendering them out of service” – according to Abu Obaida

The deceased captive was previously injured in the events of Oct. 7, 2023 where she later received treatment by Hamas in Gaza’s hospitals. After her recovery, she was returned to her place of detention – the statement added.

It was, however, verified by Roya News that Weinstein is the same woman whose body was reportedly held captive by Hamas after being killed on October 7 according to Hebrew sources.

Recent statements from Hamas’ Abu Obaida come to counter the previous statements made by Hebrew sources earlier in December 2023 who reported that Weinstein was killed on October 7 during Operation Aqsa Typhoon and Hamas held her body.
