Hamas reported that Alex Danzig, a Polish-Jewish historian kidnapped in the Gaza Strip, was found dead.
The Al-Qassam Brigades (the armed wing of Hamas) reported on Telegram that Alex Danzig was among seven hostages who were killed during the recent Israeli bombing of the Gaza.
“We tried to keep them alive,” a spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades said. Earlier, the terrorist group revealed the names of three of the seven dead hostages. The identities of the remaining victims, including Alex Danzig, were disclosed after “examining and verifying” their bodies.
“We have contacted the Israeli authorities, who have not confirmed this information yet,” Paweł Wroński, spokesman for the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told Polish Radio, referring to the matter.
75-year-old Alex Danzig was abducted from his home in the Nir Or kibbutz during a Hamas attack on Israel.
The historian was born in Warsaw in 1948. He was a collaborator of the Yad Vashem Institute and an active participant in Polish-Jewish dialogue. At the age of nine, he moved with his parents and sister from Warsaw and settled in Israel. There, he completed school and studied history at the university. He was a member of the Hashomer Hatzair organization and a paratrooper during Israel's successive wars.
