Al-Qassam Brigades: We hold 200 zionist captives
Spokesman for Al-Qassam Brigades Abu Obeida revealed in a televised statement on Monday evening that the Palestinian resistance factions hold between 200 and 250 captures in the Gaza Strip.
There are currently between 200 and 250 captures in Gaza, Abu Obeida said, noting that there is no definitive count, due to security and practical difficulties.
But he affirmed that 200 of them are in the hands of Al-Qassam Brigades, while about 50 others are held by other resistance factions and in other places.
In the televised statement, he said that about 50 others are held by other “resistance factions and in other places.”
“Foreign hostages are our guests,” Abu Obeida added, vowing to protect them and to release them whenever conditions on the ground allow for it.
Abu Obeida further said that the threat of an Israeli ground operation in Gaza “doesn’t scare us and we are ready for it.”
He also named an Israeli captured killed in an Israeli bombing in the last few hours.
Finally, Abu Obeida warned all countries that allow their citizens to fight in the Israeli army, saying that anyone who fights in the Israeli army, regardless of his dual nationality, will be a target for the Palestinian Resistance. (ILKHA)
