The version put forward by Hamas was different
The statements contradict those of the alQassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamasthat Marciano was killed by Israeli bombing on November 9th.
Last Monday, Hamas released a video that showed Marciano, reportedly on her fourth day in captivity, calling for the bombings to stop because the hostages “could die,” as well as several photos of her, apparently dead, with a serious wound Head and no feet.
The location where the video was filmed cannot be identified as she can only be seen reading a piece of paper with a flag of an Islamic group in the background.
Shortly before the video was released, alQassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida accused Israel of rejecting a deal to exchange Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners.

One of them left, the other lay bleeding on a stretcher with his hands tied.
The walker “does not appear to require medical treatment, but is still being taken to the hospital,” Hagari said, emphasizing that “Hamas hid and killed the hostages in the Shifa hospital.” The spokesman said that so far Israeli troops have not managed to locate the men seen in the video.
