Abu Ubaida: Guard killed Israeli prisoner after his two children killed in Israeli airstrikes
Gaza (Quds News Network)- Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, said its internal investigation found that a guard killed an Israeli prisoner after his two children were killed in Israeli airstrikes, noting the incident “does not represent our ethics and religious teachings in dealing with prisoners.”
Abu Ubaida, the spokesman for Al-Qassam Brigades, said a Qassam Brigades fighter who was guarding an Israeli prisoner “acted in a vengeful manner, contrary to instructions, after receiving news of the martyrdom of his two children in one of the enemy’s massacres”.
“We stress that the incident does not represent our ethics and religious teachings in dealing with prisoners, and we will tighten the instructions after the incident is repeated in two cases so far,” he said in a statement.
“We hold the enemy fully responsible for all the suffering and dangers that its prisoners are exposed to as a result of its violation of all the rules of humane and humanitarian treatment and its practice of brutal genocide against our people.”
On Monday, Abu Ubaida said that an Israeli prisoner was killed in Gaza and two female prisoners were critically wounded in a separate incident.
The announcement and the unprecedented nature of the incident come as a new round of indirect negotiations for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas to put an end to the devastating war on Gaza started today in Qatar.
