Oxidation not only means the loss of electrons, but also the addition of oxygen and removal of hydrogen.

At the same time,

Reduction means the addition of hydrogen and removal of oxygen.

Thus,

in this case, H2S is getting oxidised by Cl because, Cl has less valency( valency = -1)

while S has valency 2- thus , hydrogen is loosing an electron and is oxidised and,

cl is reduced as it is getting hydrogen
