Israeli hostages 'spat at and abused' by 'jubilant crowds' in Gaza

Former British commander Richard Kemp says Israeli hostages who were dragged into Gaza were in many cases spat at and abused by "jubilant crowds" who had come out to the streets to "celebrate Hamas' victory".

Mr Kemp spoke to Sky News Australia about the latest unfolding events being seen as the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues.

He also discussed the unfolding hostage situation in Gaza.

"Nobody knows where they are – the IDF is clearly working on that," Mr Kemp said.

"The likelihood is they're going to be dispersed in a number of locations."
