Palestinian journalist held Israeli hostages in home

Hostages Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv were rescued from the home of Abdallah Aljamal on Saturday

A Palestinian journalist and his family held three Israeli hostages captive in their home in the Gaza Strip until their rescue on Saturday morning, the Israeli Defense Forces said on Sunday.

“Following the completion of IDF and ISA examinations of reports on the subject, it can be confirmed that Abdallah Aljamal was an operative in the Hamas terrorist organization, who held the hostages Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv captive in his family home in Nuseirat,” the IDF said in a statement.

“The hostages were held captive by Abdallah Aljamal and members of his family in their home,” the statement continued, calling the discovery “further evidence of the deliberate use of civilian homes and buildings by the Hamas terrorist organization to hold Israeli hostages captive in the Gaza Strip.”
