The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) said on Saturday that the United States’ participation in the “criminal operation” carried out by the Israeli occupation army today in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, after which it announced the recovery of 4 detainees, proves Washington’s complicity in the war crimes committed in the Strip.
Axios reported earlier – quoting a US administration official – that the “American kidnappers cell in Israel” helped recover the four detainees from Gaza.
Hamas added – in a statement – that what the Israeli occupation army announced about the release of a number of its prisoners after more than 8 months of aggression against Gaza “will not change its strategic failure.”
She stressed that “our valiant resistance still retains the largest number of prisoners and is able to increase its yield, as it did in the recent heroic capture operation that it carried out in Jabalia” at the end of last May.
Brutal massacre
The movement also commented on the massacre committed by the occupation army in the Nuseirat camp coinciding with the operation, which so far left 210 Palestinians dead and more than 400 injured, describing it as a “brutal and horrific crime.”
She said, “In a brutal crime that confirms the nature of this criminal fascist entity, which has deviated from the values of civilization and humanity, today the terrorist occupation army committed a horrific massacre against innocent civilians.”
It is noteworthy that the Israeli occupation army announced today the implementation of an operation to recover the four prisoners in coordination between the Internal Security Service (Shin Bet) and the Special Police Unit from two separate areas in the heart of Nuseirat.
The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation broadcast images that it said were from the shores of Gaza, showing the transfer of detainees to Israeli army helicopters, noting that “gunmen” chased the car that carried the prisoners, opened fire on it and damaged it.
A statement by the occupation army stated that the four prisoners were among those detained from the Nova ceremony on the seventh of last October, indicating that their health condition is good, and that they were transferred for medical examinations to Tel Hashomer Hospital.
