The spokesman for Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas Resistance Movement, announced on Tuesday the loss of contact with the team guarding soldier Edan Alexander following a direct Israeli bombardment targeting their location.
We are still trying to reach them, Abu Obiedah stated via social media.
“It seems that the occupation army is deliberately trying to kill him and hence relieve themselves from the pressure caused by the dual-citizen prisoners in order to continue its genocide against our people.”
Later on, Hamas published a video that shows footage of the previous prisoner exchange operations with a text that reads, ”
Be Prepared, Soon your children will return in black coffins.”

לְהֵעָרֵך, בקרוב יחזרו בניכם בארונות קבורה שחורים

Meanwhile, Hamas sources expected that the Movement would respond to the new ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal proposal submitted by Egypt in 48 hours after consulting the chiefs of the resistance factions.
