Hamas military spokesman announced that Al-Qassam Brigades fighters were able to retrieve a martyr who was tasked with securing Edan Alexander, adding that Edan’s fate and the other fighters securing him remain unknown.
Via social media, Abu Obeidah said, “We are trying to protect all prisoners and to keep them alive despite the brutality of the aggression. However, their lives are in danger due to the criminal air strike bombings carried out by the enemy army.”
“The occupation lies in its claim of inhumane treatment of its prisoners and fabricates false testimonies from former prisoners, with the aim spreading false propaganda against the Palestinian resistance and covering up the scandal of its killing of a number of its own prisoners, and causing the continued suffering of the rest.”
Later on, Hamas military wing published a video that shows the Israeli captive Elkana Bohbot speaking with some of family members and explaining his agony in light of the Israeli government’s track of relinquishing the prisoners.
Israeli occupation forces have intensified their military campaign across the Gaza Strip, unleashing a series of devastating air and drone strikes that have killed numerous civilians and wounded many others.
