Hamas is threatening to kill the remaining hostages if there is "any escalation" of attacks from Israel against Gaza, a Hamas military spokesman said in a statement Thursday, ABC News reports.
This comes after President Donald Trump ordered Hamas to release all remaining hostages, dead or alive, or it is "over for you" in a post Wednesday on Truth Social.
Hamas accused Israel of "bullying, stalling, and reckless aggression."
"Israeli threats of war will bring them nothing but failure and will not lead to the release of their captives. We warn the families of Israeli captives that we still hold proof of life for those who remain alive. We are fully prepared for all possible scenarios. Any escalation of aggression against our people will result in the killing of enemy captives," he said.
"I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don't do as I say," Trump threatened in a social media post.
