Al-Quds Brigades says Israeli captive attempts suicide after failed truce
Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, says the group’s medical team dealt with a suicide attempt by one of their captives three days ago.
“We succeeded in saving the prisoner’s life after he attempted suicide due to his psychological condition. The prisoner’s psychological condition deteriorated after the [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu government set new conditions that led to the failure of the release,” military spokesperson Abu Hamza said.
The prisoner who attempted suicide was scheduled to be released in the first phase of a ceasefire deal that would exchange captives held in Gaza for Palestinian prisoners locked up in Israeli jails.
“Following the prisoner’s suicide attempt, the al-Quds Brigades decided to tighten security and safety measures for the prisoners,” said Abu Hamza.

Number of aid personnel killed in Gaza rises to 736
The Government Media Office in Gaza says the number of humanitarian relief workers killed in Israeli attacks since October 7, 2023, has risen to 736.
“This escalation is part of a deliberate plan by the Israeli occupation to create an administrative and governmental vacuum and to spread chaos and insecurity in Gaza Strip, aiming to undermine the resilience and stability of our people,” the media office said in a statement.
“The shocking rise in the number of aid security personnel martyred, now totaling 736, highlights the extent of the crimes perpetrated by the occupation, targeting those who strive to provide assistance and relief to our afflicted people.”
According to the United Nations, more aid workers have been killed in 2024 than in any other year on record, with two-thirds dying in the occupied Palestinian territory.
