This is the best summary I could come up with:
DUBAI/JERUSALEM, Dec 8 (Reuters) - The armed wing of Hamas said on Friday it had repelled an attempted hostage rescue by Israeli special forces in the Gaza Strip, inflicting several military casualties, and that a captive also died in the incident.
Israel declined comment, accusing the Palestinian Islamist faction of attempting psychological warfare against it.
In a statement on Telegram, Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades said its fighters discovered a special forces unit mounting a rescue attempt and attacked it, killing and wounding several soldiers.
Lists of the hostages published by Israel identify one of them as Sahar Baruch, a civilian student who was 24 when he was seized from his home during the Oct 7 cross-border Hamas killing and kidnapping spree that triggered the war.
Of some 240 people taken hostage that day, 137 remain in Gaza captivity after others were recovered during a truce.
“We hold Hamas fully responsible for the safety and wellbeing of those hostages,” he said, reiterating an Israeli demand - so far unmet - for the Red Cross to visit them.
