Hamas said there are about 200-250 Israeli captives in Gaza, the group's armed-wing spokesman said in a recorded video on Monday.
Former Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal said earlier Monday the group's Israeli captives include high-ranking officers from the Gaza Division.
Meshaal, who heads Hamas' diaspora office, also said the group will spare no effort in using the captives as leverage to free 6,000 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons, Hamas' telegram channel quoted him as telling AlAraby TV in an interview. The Israeli military put the number at 199 hostages being held in Gaza, higher than previous estimates, The Associated Press reported Monday.
