Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said his country's response to Hamas's incursion will 'reverberate with them for generations' - hours after the militant group said it will kill civilian hostages if Israel doesn't issue warnings ahead of bombings.
Hamas has said it will execute an Israeli hostage in response to any new Gaza Strip bombings that come without a pre-warning - moments after a senior figure from the group told Sky News civilian captives would be treated 'humanely'. The warning was issued by Hamas before at least 100 bodies were recovered from Be'eri, a community in southern Israel that was seized by militants from the group.
He said he could '100% guarantee' they will be safe and orders have been given to fighters to not kill or harm elderly people, women or children. However, moments later another Hamas official said it would begin executing Israeli civilian captives in return for any Gaza bombings that come without a pre-warning. Earlier on Monday, rescuers said they had recovered at least 260 bodies from the site of a music festival in Israel that was attacked by Hamas during its incursion.
