Hostages held in the Gaza Strip are “fighting for their survival” because they are suffering the same “suffering” as residents of the bombed Palestinian enclave, Hamas’ armed wing said today.
“Wounded and sick enemy prisoners are living a very difficult situation and fighting for their survival and this is not surprising since what our people are suffering – hunger, thirst, lack of medicine – they are also suffering,” Abu Obeida said. , the spokesman for the Al Qassem Brigades.
“We always try to keep (in a safe place) enemy prisoners by any means possible and we have already warned dozens of times about the dangers they are exposed to (…) but time is pressing,” he added.
Earlier this week two Israeli-Argentine hostages were freed in an Israeli army operation in Rafah, where about 100 people were killed on the Palestinian side, according to the Hamas health ministry. The families of the hostages who remain in the enclave are pleading with the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a new ceasefire so that the process of their release can begin.
