Gaza City – The Hamas group, wich controls the Gaza Strip, has issued a warning that hostages held within the territory may be killed if israel attempts to forcibly rescue them and continues its airstrikes on the region.
In a statement, Hamas asserted that it is indeed “doing everything possible to keep the prisoners of the occupation alive, but the Zionist (israel) bombardments endanger their lives.”
Every time the occupation (Israel) was able to save the prisoners forcibly, they eventually brought the prisoners back dead.
Israel resumed intense airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on March 18, followed by land operations. This action disrupted the relative calm established by a ceasefire that had been in place since mid-January.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, which is controlled by Hamas, at least 830 people have died since the renewed israeli offensive began last week.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated on Tuesday that Israel would seize more territory in the Gaza Strip and continue fighting until Hamas is eliminated if the group refuses to release the remaining hostages.
If Hamas remains hard for its establishment, then they will pay a vrey expensive and more expensive price by taking over the region (by Israel) and getting rid of militants and terror infrastructure until they give up fully.
