Abu Ubaida: The Price for 5 Living Prisoners or 10 is the Same

The military spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida, announced that Israel intentionally killed its prisoners to eliminate the file. In his statement, he said: "We previously announced that our communication has been cut off with our Mujahideen who are guarding a number of enemy prisoners in our honest sector, and we suspect that several prisoners have been killed as a result of the Zionist bombing. After examining and verifying in recent weeks, we have confirmed the martyrdom of several of our Mujahideen and the killing of seven enemy prisoners in the sector due to the Zionist shelling, including: 1- Chaim Gershon Peri 2- Yoram Itak Metzger 3- Amir Israel Cooper, and we will announce later the names of the other four killed after verifying their identities." He continued: "We confirm that the number of enemy prisoners who were killed as a result of the military operations of the enemy's army in the Gaza Strip may exceed seventy prisoners, and we have been keen all the time to preserve the lives of the prisoners, but it has become clear that the enemy's leadership intentionally kills its prisoners to get rid of this file." He said: "At the same time, we confirm that the price we will take for five living prisoners or ten is the same price we would have taken for all the prisoners had they not been killed by the enemy's bombing operations."
