Al Qassam Brigades loses communication with unit guarding 5 Israelis
Gaza (Quds News)- Al Qassam Brigades said it lost communication with a group of fighters, which guards five Israeli detainees in Gaza. It added that this happened due to Israeli continuous strikes across Gaza.
"As a result of the brutal Zionist bombings, we have lost contact with the group responsible for five Zionist prisoners, including:
Haim Gershon Perry (חיים פרי)
Yoram Etak Metzger (יורם מצגר)
Amiram Israel Kofar (עמירם קופר)", the resistance movement stated.
"It is suspected that the prisoners were killed in one of the Zionist airstrikes on the Gaza Strip", it added.
The three detainees, mentioned in the statement, appeared previously in footage demanding their release. They called on the Israeli government to help release them instead of continuing the offensive and bombardment. They added that they were founders of the Israeli army and that they do not want to be killed by it.
Iran says it forced a US destroyer to retreat from the Strait of Hormuz after issuing direct threats, while Washington denies any confrontation, deepening tensions in a key global oil route.
Israel is “systematically and deliberately weaponizing starvation” against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip by restricting and controlling the entry of goods, exacerbating the suffering of over two million Palestinians after two years of genocide.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s far-right National Security Minister, stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem on Sunday for the second time in a week, in a provocative move following Israel’s 40-day closure of the holy site to Palestinians.
