The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), announced that it would reveal the fate of three Israeli prisoners tonight, which it had announced had lost contact with the group responsible for their detention.
Al-Qassam military media broadcast a new video clip of the three prisoners, entitled “What do you think?” It included three options: “They were all killed, or some of them were killed and the other was injured, or they are still alive.”
Al-Qassam concluded the video with, “Tonight we will tell you their fate,” a day after she published a video about these prisoners and her intention to reveal their fate today, Friday.
On December 23, Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Ubaida suggested that 5 Israeli prisoners were likely killed as a result of the occupation’s ongoing raids on the Gaza Strip, after the brigades announced that they had lost contact with the group responsible for them.
Abu Ubaida added at the time that among these prisoners were Haim Peri, Yoram Metzer, and Amiram Cooper, who appeared in a video clip broadcast by Al-Qassam earlier, demanding that their leaders not leave them in captivity and “not to grow old in it.”
