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)

The humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip has reached another grim milestone as hospitals reported four more deaths, including a child, caused by famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, health officials confirmed on Thursday.
The death toll from Israel’s ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip has risen to at least 65,141 martyrs since the war began in October 2023, with the majority of victims being women and children, according to medical authorities in the besieged enclave.
At least 12 Israeli occupation soldiers have been killed and wounded in a powerful Palestinian Resistance operation in the Gaza Strip, marking one of the deadliest incidents for Israeli forces in recent weeks as battles rage across the besieged enclave.
Syrian Foreign Minister Esad al-Sheibani arrived in Washington this week, marking the first official visit by a Syrian top diplomat to the United States in nearly 25 years.
