Hamas is seeking eight Gaza hostages at Russia's request, RIA reports

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Oct 28 (Reuters) - Hamas is looking for eight people identified by Russia as possibly being among the hostages in Gaza and is ready to free them, Hamas Politburo member Abu Marzouk told Russian state news agency RIA on Saturday.

RIA cited Marzouk, who has been visiting Moscow, as saying that the Russian foreign ministry had handed over a list of eight names, all of whom had dual citizenship.

"We are very attentive to this list and we will handle it carefully because we look at Russia as our closest friend," Marzouk was cited as saying.

And as soon as we find them, we will release them.

Despite the difficulties due to the current situation."

Russia on Friday defended its decision to invite a Hamas delegation to Moscow against strong Israeli criticism, saying it was necessary to maintain contacts with all sides in the conflict.

All sides of this are shitheads. Hamas licking Russian boots and holding civilian hostages and Israel for blowing shit up in revenge for being blown up as revenge for blowing shit up.
