Hamas sends threatening calls, messages to hostage relatives from loved ones phones – N12

Hamas has sent threatening phone calls and messages to relatives of Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity, according to a report on Tuesday by N12.

‘Fight the government or lose your loved ones’

The messages included warnings such as: “If you don’t fight the government, you won’t see your loved ones return.”

According to the report, the terror group sent ransom requests, claiming that without payment, the hostage families wouldn’t receive information about their loved ones.

The families have since passed the phone numbers to the Shin Bet.

An initial investigation suggests that those behind the threats are hostile actors, either of Iranian origin or affiliated with Hamas.
