QB releases new message to Israeli public, families of captives

GAZA(Palestine Foundation Information Center) Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, released on Saturday a new video message to the families of Israeli captives in the Gaza Strip calling on them to choose if they want to see their relatives dead in bombardment or alive as part of a deal.

The new message, which is titled “Freed as part of a deal or killed by bombardment,” has been directed at the Israeli public in general and the captives’ families in particular.

The video message contained photos of several Israeli prisoners who were killed mostly during bombardment or following failed attempts by the occupation army to release them.

Throughout the video, there was a picture on the wall of what appeared to be a family — consisting of a couple and two children. However, the video message did not provide any details about them. Next to the image was a menorah.

The video concluded with a message in both Arabic and Hebrew: “The next message: ‘freed as part of a deal or killed by bombardment.’ The decision is in Netanyahu’s hands.”
