ALBAWABA - Hamas' armed branch, the Al-Qassam Brigades, said that the Israeli military had intentionally bombed a site in the Gaza Strip where Israeli prisoners were being detained. According to the group, the place was repeatedly targeted in order to guarantee the deaths of the detainees and their guards.
Al-Qassam spokesperson Abu Ubaida said in a video statement posted on Telegram that they had received intelligence verifying Israel's intentional plan to destroy the site. Although their condition and locations are still unclear, he continued, the gang made an attempt to free the detainees and was successful in freeing one person.
Abu Ubaida held Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his administration, and the military solely accountable for the fate of the detainees.
In the midst of the continuous battle, an estimated 101 Israelis are being kept captive in Gaza. The charge is made while the number of fatalities in Gaza keeps rising—it has been estimated that over 44,930 individuals have died since Israel's war operations began 435 days ago.
