Israeli-American families hold news conference on relatives killed or captured by Hamas

Four Israeli-American families will hold a news conference Tuesday to talk about their family members who have either died or are being held hostage in the Israel-Hamas war. 

One of the family members is an Israeli soldier. 

The names of the hostages are Itay Chen, 19, Adreinne Neta, 66, Sagui Dekel-Chen, 35 and Hersh Golberg-Polin, 23.  

Hamas warned on Monday that it would begin killing Israeli civilians held captive for every new Israeli bombing of civilian homes without warning.

The message came from Iran-backed Hamas’ armed wing spokesperson Abu Ubaida, who said Hamas has been complying and acting within Islamic instructions, keeping Israeli captives safe and sound. Hamas launched brutal attacks on Israel on Saturday, killing more than 250 at a music festival. 

Ubaida also blamed the threat on Israel's increased bombing and killing of civilians who are in their homes by way of air strikes, without warning.
