Israel’s military dropped leaflets in Gaza on Tuesday, October 24, urging Palestinians to give them information about hostages being held by Hamas and offering them protection and a reward.
The Palestinian militant group seized more than 200 people during cross-border raids into Israel which killed 1,400 people on October 7. The Palestinian health ministry said that Israeli air strikes on Gaza have killed over 5,000 people since then.
“If your will is to live in peace and to have a better future for your children, do the humanitarian deed immediately and share verified and valuable information about hostages being held in your area,” the military said in the leaflet.
“The Israeli military assures you that it will invest maximum effort in providing security for you and your home, and you will receive a financial reward. We guarantee you complete confidentiality.”
