In a new message posted by the AlQassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), on their official Telegram account, the brigades issued a special appeal to the families of the Israeli prisoners held in the Gaza Strip, urging them to await forthcoming updates regarding the fate and conditions of their loved ones.
In their message, the brigades stated: “To the families of the prisoners, anticipate what we will publish about what your army is doing to your sons under orders from (Israeli Prime Minister) Benjamin Netanyahu.” This message came in a context of escalation, aiming to shed light on the situation of the Israeli prisoners and to hold the Israeli leadership accountable for their fate.
In a previous development, on Friday, the AlQassam Brigades released a video warning of an uncertain future awaiting the Israelis captured during the attack carried out by Hamas on October 7th. The video suggested that their fate might resemble that of previous prisoners held by the movement before the war began.
In the video, the brigades highlighted the cases of four Israeli prisoners—Hadar Goldin, Shaul Aaron, Hisham Al-Sayed, and Abraham Mengistu—who have been detained for over ten years. The brigades questioned, “Has their people and families forgotten them as their government and army have neglected them?” They also issued a warning: “Will the prisoners of October 7th endure the same fate as these?”
These messages are part of AlQassam’s strategy to pressure the Israeli government and public opinion to negotiate regarding the prisoners, using media and social networks to deliver their messages directly to the prisoners’ families and the Israeli society at large.
These actions by the AlQassam Brigades reflect the ongoing tension between Hamas and Israel, with both parties exchanging escalations and threats in the absence of diplomatic solutions or initiatives to de-escalate the conflict. It is worth noting that these messages come at a sensitive time for the occupying state, facing increasing internal and external pressures from all directions.
In conclusion, the fate of the Israeli prisoners in Gaza remains a sensitive issue, with AlQassam Brigades calling for more anticipation and waiting for what will be revealed in the near future about the conditions of these prisoners and the potential new developments in the political and security landscape of the region.
