Gaza (Quds News Network)- A senior security officer in Gaza’s resistance has confirmed that prisoner guard units have activated the “immediate disposal” protocol, reported Al-Hares. The move comes amid growing concerns that Israel and the US may launch special operations to extract captured soldiers.
The officer told Al-Hares that resistance intelligence believes Israel is preparing high-risk missions to recover its soldier prisoners. In response, all units responsible for guarding Israeli soldier prisoners have raised their readiness.
The “immediate disposal” protocol, first mentioned today, is now in effect, though the resistance did not disclose its operational details.
Earlier today, US President Donald Trump issued new threats against Gaza, claiming that Hamas refuses a ceasefire because it fears what comes after the prisoners are released.
“They know what happens after you get the final hostages,” Trump said. “They want to die… You have to finish the job. We must get rid of them.”
Trump confirmed that the US has withdrawn from ceasefire negotiations.
Meanwhile, Qatar and Egypt rejected claims made by Trump’s envoy Steven Witkoff, who alleged Hamas rejected a ceasefire deal.
Hamas had responded with a detailed proposal that includes:
A 60-day ceasefire.
A phased Israeli withdrawal.
Full opening of the Rafah crossing.
UN-supervised humanitarian aid.
A prisoner exchange agreement.
The mediators confirmed that talks had made progress and that pauses in negotiations are expected.
As Gaza remains under siege and the death toll from starvation continues to rise, resistance forces say any Israeli operation to free Israeli prisoners could lead to immediate consequences under the active “disposal” protocol.
