Al-Qassam Brigades: Most Israeli captives missing amid ongoing Israeli aggression in Gaza
A senior source within the Al-Qassam Brigades has reported that most Israeli prisoners held in North Gaza are now considered missing, attributing their status to the relentless Israeli aggression against the besieged territory.
The source emphasized that the Al-Qassam Brigades had issued repeated warnings about the potential consequences of Israel's unyielding military onslaught. "The brutal and indiscriminate bombing campaign by the occupation forces has created chaos and destruction, making it impossible to ensure the safety of the prisoners," the source stated.
This development comes amid Israel's continued military campaign, which has devastated civilian infrastructure, displaced hundreds of thousands, and resulted in widespread casualties across Gaza.
The Al-Qassam Brigades underscored that they bear no responsibility for the fate of the prisoners, pointing instead to the Israeli leadership’s decision to escalate the violence despite international calls for a ceasefire.
Human rights organizations and observers have repeatedly condemned Israel's actions in Gaza, describing them as disproportionate and in violation of international law. The humanitarian crisis in the region continues to worsen, with many urging immediate intervention to prevent further loss of life.
As the conflict rages on, the plight of civilians in Gaza remains dire, with access to basic necessities such as food, water, and medical care severely limited. Calls for a negotiated solution have grown louder, but prospects for a resolution remain uncertain amid the ongoing violence. (ILKHA)
