A new Hamas hostage video caused horror on Tuesday. In the video, 19-year-old Noa Marciano asks for a ceasefire – her body can be seen in the next shot. The circumstances of her death are unclear; she may have been brutally murdered by the Islamists.
In the video you first see Marciano talking to the camera. Seconds later, her body is shown and a close-up of head injuries. Hamas claims the 19-year-old was killed in an Israeli bomb attack.
19-year-old murdered by Hamas?
However, there is already speculation on social networks that the Israeli woman, who worked as a conscript in the army’s border guard, was brutally murdered. It is also suspected that Hamas is deliberately taking hostages to buildings that the Israeli Air Force has announced will be bombed.

Regardless, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the 19-year-old’s death and her family had already been informed. “Our thoughts are with Noa’s family.” The IDF would continue to do everything possible to free the hostages.
The Red Cross demands access to hostages
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is now negotiating with Hamas for access to the hostages kidnapped in the Gaza Strip. “We insist on seeing the hostages,” spokeswoman Fatima Sator said in Geneva on Tuesday. “This is part of our dialogue with Hamas.”
If ICRC staff cannot see them, they should at least be able to send them medicine and ensure they can exchange messages with their families, Sator said. She emphasized that the ICRC is a neutral organization that always depends on agreements with and between the parties to the conflict. The ICRC had facilitated the return of four Hamas hostages under such agreements. “It’s very frustrating that we can’t do more, but our mandate is limited,” she said.
