Hamas has released a new video that claims to show three female hostages. One of the hostages speaks in Hebrew pleading for their release, blaming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Hamas' Oct. 7 attack and calling on Netanyahu to help free the hostages.

The group that represents the hostage families confirms the names of the three women in the video as Rimon Buchshtab Kirsht, 36; Danielle Aloni, 44; and Yelena (Lena) Trupanob, 50.

Netanyahu's office in a statement called the video "cruel psychological propaganda by Hamas-ISIS."

"We embrace the families and are doing everything to return all of the captives and missing to their families," Netanyahu's office said.

According to the Israeli military, 230 people were taken hostage by Hamas.

The Israel Defense Forces said four prominent Hamas operatives, including a commander of Hamas' naval forces, have been killed in the last few hours.

This comes after the IDF says it "expanded" its ground operations in Gaza overnight.

Israeli military tanks apparently reached the main highway of the Gaza Strip on Monday morning, pushing deep into the eastern part of the territory, according to statements from Hamas officials as well as reports from Palestinian journalists.

The Hamas government media office said in a statement that "a few" Israeli tanks targeted civilian cars on the outskirts of Gaza City during an incursion along Salah al-Din Road, which connects the north to the south. Israeli troops then used a bulldozer to cut the street before Hamas militants "forced them to retreat," according to the office.

"There is currently no presence of occupation army vehicles on Salah al-Din Road, and citizen movement has returned to normal on it," the office added.

Izzat Al-Rishq, a member of Hamas' political bureau, also released a statement about the alleged incident on Salah al-Din Road, saying an Israeli tank had "positioned itself for 15 minutes" on the highway and "bombed a civilian car that was returning from the south of the Gaza Strip to its north."

"The car, crowded with a civilian family, tried to return, but the tank bombarded it with a shell," Al-Rishq said in a statement. "The Al-Qassam and Resistance Brigades engaged in violent clashes with the tanks, which penetrated all the way to Salah al-Din Road and hit at least one tank directly. The tanks turned back and they realized that the area in front of them was a minefield."

Video filmed by a Palestinian journalist purportedly shows an Israeli tank striking a car that was attempting to turn around and drive away on Salah al-Din Road on the outskirts of Gaza City.

Israel Defense Forces spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told reporters during a press briefing on Monday morning that he can't comment on the location and movement of troops in Gaza.

Younes Elhallaq, a 24-year-old student at the Islamic University of Gaza, is among about 30 family members sheltering in a four-room house in Khan Younis in southern Gaza. They are running out of resources and living in fear.

"The situation is really miserable," he told ABC News. "No electricity, no internet, no water, no food."

"They all told us to go to the south because it's going to be secure and safe or something, but no. … Everything here in Gaza is targeted," he said.

"Sometimes you kind of sleep for two hours, three hours, and then we hear the bombs everywhere," he said.

His sister-in-law, 22-year-old Batoul Abu Ali, added, "Our day and night is hell."

A massive blast has been reported at the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza, which is one of the most densely populated areas in the Gaza Strip.

The Hamas-run Gaza Interior Ministry claims Israeli aircraft dropped six bombs on the residential area.

The Israeli Defense Forces took responsibility for the strike, saying the blast killed a Hamas official who the IDF claimed was one of the leaders of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

The "elimination [of Hamas commander Ibrahim Biari] was carried out as part of a wide-scale strike on terrorists and terror infrastructure belonging to the Central Jabalia Battalion, which had taken control over civilian buildings in Gaza City," the IDF said. "The strike damaged Hamas’ command and control in the area, as well as its ability to direct military activity against IDF soldiers operating throughout the Gaza Strip."

The IDF did not acknowledge the civilian deaths and casualties but repeated the warning that residents of Gaza should move south for safety.
