The Al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) – broadcast a new message to its Israeli prisoners entitled “Your government is lying,” hours after the brigades’ spokesman, Abu Ubaida, announced that the fate of many Israeli prisoners had become unknown.
Three Israeli prisoners appeared in the video: Noa Argamani (26 years old), who lives in Beersheba, Yossi Sharaabi (53 years old), and Tais Versky (38 years old), who lives in Tel Aviv.
Argamani told the Israeli government: “Stop this madness and return us to our families,” while Tice Versky sent a message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which he said: “Please stop the war and return us home.”
In turn, Yossi Sharaabi said: “Therefore, the war must now stop,” which has passed its 100th day.
Al-Qassam concluded her message to the families of the Israeli prisoners by saying, “We will inform you tomorrow of their fate. Your government is lying.”
Earlier yesterday, Sunday, Abu Ubaida confirmed that the occupation had failed to achieve its goals, or to free any prisoner held by the resistance.
He said that the fate of many Israeli prisoners has become unknown during the past weeks, adding that many of the prisoners – most likely – have been killed and the occupation bears responsibility for their fate.
