Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades Release Video of Israeli Prisoners: “Time is Running Out”
Gaza (Quds News Network)- Hamas’ military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, has released a new video on Saturday titled “Time is Running Out.” The footage shows two Israeli prisoners held in Gaza.
The prisoners say they were nearly killed by Israeli airstrikes while briefly outside a tunnel to get fresh air. They say that the Israeli army bombed them, and they only survived thanks to Hamas fighters who pulled them back to safety.
In the video, they describe harsh conditions. “There is no food, no water, and no blankets,” one of them says. They also state that Hamas fighters risk their lives to let them breathe outside the tunnel, while “our army bombs us.”
They urge Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to secure their release. “Bring us home alive,” they plead. “We are dead here.” They also call for returning prisoners to speak openly about their suffering.
The prisoners warn Israelis not to believe government claims that pressure on Hamas will help. “That pressure only led to us being injured,” they say. “This is the result of the pressure”, the prisoners say pointing to their injuries.
Meanwhile, families of Israeli prisoners held a protest in Tel Aviv near military headquarters. They expressed fear over their relatives’ fate since Israel resumed its genocide in Gaza last month.
Some family members called on U.S. President Donald Trump to pressure Netanyahu to stop the wary. Others accused Netanyahu of endangering prisoners and tearing Israeli society apart.
Yesterday, the spokesperson for Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida, stated that half of Israel’s living prisoners are in areas where the Israeli army recently ordered evacuations. He warned that Hamas will not relocate them and will keep them under strict but highly dangerous security measures.
