Qassam Brigades posts video of captives
In the video released by the armed wing of Hamas, two captives say their life was better and they felt safer during the truce that Israel ended on March 18.
The captives in a tiny closed space sitting side by side said they were “Prisoner Number 21” and “Prisoner Number 22”.
“Until yesterday we had a name and an identity and I had hope, but today I am just a number,” one of them said.
“Before the ceasefire agreement came into effect, the crossings were closed, our living conditions were difficult, and we almost received no food and there was no safe place,” one of them said.
“When the deal began and the crossings were opened, Hamas fighters took care of us, and we began to feel better. We were relieved of hunger and began to breathe fresh air.”
The captive said Israel resuming the war on Gaza on March 18 was “a severe blow”.
