Brigades spokesman Al Quds said one of the team’s medical teams intervened and prevented the hostage from taking his own life, blaming Israel for the failure of a deal.
An Israeli hostage held by the Islamic Jihad group in Gaza has tried to kill himself, a spokesman for the group’s armed wing has claimed.
Specifically, in a video posted on Telegram on Thursday, brigade spokesman Al Quds said that one of the team’s medical teams intervened and prevented the hostage from taking his own life.
Islamic Jihad spokesman Abu Hamza said the hostage had tried to kill himself three days ago due to his psychological condition, without elaborating.
Abu Hamza accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government of setting new conditions that have led to “failure and delay” in negotiations to free the hostage.
The man was to be released along with other hostages in the first stage of a swap deal with Israel, Abu Hamza said. He did not say when the man would be released or under what agreement.
The armed wing of Islamic Jihad issued a decision to strengthen security measures for the hostages, Abu Hamza added.
