2 citizens held in Gaza: Israel

Israel says two Israelis held in Gaza, one by Hamas. This AFP photo shows a general view of the al-Shejaeiya neighbourhood, east of Gaza City, that was destroyed during the 50-day war between Israel and Hamas' militants in the summer of 2014, on July 2, 2015.

The Israeli defence ministry said Thursday that two Israelis, including an Arab, were being held captive in the Gaza Strip, accusing Hamas of holding one of them.
In a statement, the ministry said that "according to credible intelligence" Avraham Mengistu, an Israeli of Ethiopian descent, "is being held against his will by Hamas in Gaza."
"Furthermore, the defence establishment is currently dealing with an additional case of an Israeli Arab also being held in Gaza," it said.
