Qassam Brigades claims Israel killed captives during ‘rescue operation’ in Nuseirat
The armed wing of Hamas has said three Israeli captives, including a US citizen, were killed as Israeli forces attacked the Nuseirat refugee camp.
The Qassam Brigades made the claim in a statement on its Telegram channel.
Hamas video of killed captives message to Israel, US
Details have been presented in a video released by the military wing of Hamas about three Israeli captives allegedly killed by the Israeli army. They were killed during the operation that was carried out yesterday to release four Israeli captives, the armed group said.
What we saw in the video is supposedly three Israeli captives killed, but the video was blurred, so it was hard to identify the captives. The video stresses the fact that one of the captives is a US citizen.
We believe that it’s a message from the military wing of Hamas to the Israeli side, and even to the captives’ families, to make them put pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a ceasefire deal that would bring those captives back home to Israel.
And at the same time, it’s also another message to the US administration specifically to convince Netanyahu to press ahead with a ceasefire agreement, which is still at a dead end.
