Israel drops leaflets on Gaza asking for info on hostages

Israel on Tuesday dropped leaflets across the Gaza Strip, asking Gazans to give information about hostages in exchange for a reward.

"If your will is to live in peace and have a better future for your children, do your humanitarian deed immediately and share verified and valuable information about hostages being held in your area," the leaflets said in Arabic.

"The Israeli military assures you that it will invest maximum effort in providing security for you and your home, and you will receive a financial reward. We guarantee you complete confidentiality," the papers added, while providing phone numbers for Gazans to tip-off information.       

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the dropping of the leaflets on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Earlier leaflets dropped by Israel have asked for Gazans to move the southern part of the Gaza Strip amid Israeli military operations against Hamas.
