In a televised statement on Thursday, Abu Hamza, the military spokesman for the Al-Quds Brigades, declared that the Israeli occupation bears sole responsibility for the lives of the captives held by the Resistance groups in Gaza amid their brutal shelling of the Strip.
Abu Hamza announced the Resistance’s full readiness to release two Israeli prisoners, Hanna Katsir and Yagil Yaqoub, for humanitarian and health reasons.
The Al-Quds Brigades released video footage of two Israeli captives describing their circumstances of detention in the Gaza Strip. They frankly accused Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of abandoning them. In addition, they pleaded to be released as swiftly as possible.
In further detail, the Israeli elderly captive stated that she found herself in an unsuitable situation, blaming Netanyahu for “all of this chaos that occurred and responsibility for the lives of the Israeli prisoners in Gaza.” She added that Netanyahu “destroyed everything beautiful, targeted people, tortured them, and killed children.”
She asserted that “Netanyahu committed major mistakes and harmed Israeli society” and demanded that he “leave the government and return home.”
In regards to the captives’ detention circumstances, Caster stated that the resistance fighters “did everything to keep the Israeli captives alive,” adding that “everything was good, and they were treated with all respect in terms of health and other matters.”
Yagil Yaakov, a young captive, said that “Netanyahu is causing the deaths of children in addition to Israeli captives held by the resistance and exposing their lives to danger and difficulty by shutting off water and power to the Gaza Strip.
The 13-year-old boy emphasized that the Al-Quds Brigades were concerned about the captives’ safety and paid close attention to the slightest issues about them.
The Palestinian resistance in Gaza has held around 242 Israeli and international captives since October 7, and has repeatedly declared its willingness to swap them for over 6,000 Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli occupation prisons.
It’s not the first time a video of Israeli captives in Gaza has gone viral. The Al-Qassam Brigades had previously published a video in which three of their female Israeli captives addressed Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government.
