Gaza – Ma’an – The Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), broadcast a new video that included testimonies of prisoners who had been appealing since the beginning of the war to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to release them by making deals with Hamas and ending the war. The second part of the clip showed these prisoners killed by bombs dropped by Israeli warplanes on the Gaza Strip in unprecedented bombing operations.
The video, titled “He promises them and gives them false hope, but the devil only promises them delusions,” showed one of the prisoners, named Alon Shamirz, saying, “I am very, very hopeful that I will soon be released from here.”
Tom Haim, a reserve soldier, said, ‘To my family… you are my life, I miss you until the end.’
While another said, “Benjamin Netanyahu and his government, you should be ashamed of yourselves.”
Another female prisoner appeared in the video addressing Netanyahu, saying, ‘Stop lying to our citizens and our families th
at you are doing everything you can so that we can return to our homes.’
An Israeli appeared in the Qassam video crying and appealing to Netanyahu, “Please return my wife and children so that they can be buried at home.”
Another prisoner asked Netanyahu to stop the war, saying, “Netanyahu, please stop the war and bring us home.”
Another expressed his hope, saying, “I really hope we get the best surprise possible.”
After the testimonies were shown, the Qassam video showed the prisoners as lifeless bodies.
At the end of the video, Netanyahu appears saying, ‘We have been working since the beginning of the war to bring the prisoners back home… to bring them all back… and when I say all of them, I mean all of them.’
