At least nine people abducted by Hamas militants were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said on Saturday.
In a press statement, Al-Qassam Brigades said that among those hostages killed, four were foreigners.
On Friday, 13 hostages were killed in the airstrikes in northern Gaza.
On Oct. 7, Hamas launched a surprise attack by firing thousands of rockets against Israeli targets, prompting extensive airstrikes from the Israeli side. Hamas militants also infiltrated Israeli territory and took a significant number of hostages during the attack.
The ongoing conflict, now in its eighth day, has killed more than 3,000 people on both sides and wounded even more.
