Families of Israeli civilians who are under Hamas’s captivity have reportedly received text messages in Hebrew from senders claiming to be Hamas, asking recipients to click on a link to access information on the hostages.

“This is our message: the release of all prisoners in exchange for the release of all Palestinian prisoners.

To know the condition of all your prisoners, stay in touch with us.”
