Trump Warns Hamas Against Using Israeli Captives in Gaza as ‘Human Shields’
Hamas relocated 48 hostages above ground in Gaza City to restrict Israeli military actions, using them as human shields according to Palestinian sources and officials.
- On September 13, 2025, Palestinian sources told Kan that Hamas relocated hostages above ground into homes and tents to limit Israeli military movements, and the mother of Israeli hostage Guy Gilboa-Dalal said her son is held above ground in Gaza City.
- In recent weeks, Israeli military has stepped up attacks with hundreds of airstrikes, local media reports at least 37 hitting Gaza City within 20 minutes as a ground offensive looms.
- President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social Monday that `I have just read a News Report that Hamas has moved the hostages above ground to use them as human shields against Israel’s ground offensive` and urged Hamas to release all Israeli hostages immediately.
- Speaking alongside allies, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, said he won’t rule out further strikes "wherever they are" and discussed future steps with allies as Arab and Islamic states held a summit backing Qatar after last week's Doha strike.
- Long ago, the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023 attack killed approximately 1,200 people and triggered a Gaza war marked by mass displacement and heavy casualties, while recent weeks saw Israel systematically leveling Gaza City, the United Nations special envoy said.
