Gaza – Together – Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, broadcast a video clip showing one of the Israeli occupation prisoners being held in the Gaza Strip, addressing the Israeli demonstrators in the occupied territories.
The prisoner, whose name was given as “Alexander Turbanov,” said in a clip titled “The (Israeli) government does not want to pay the price,” and said, “To the citizens of Israel and the demonstrators… in the coming days, you will hear the truth from me regarding what happened to me and dozens of prisoners in Gaza.”
Turbanov concluded his brief message by saying: ‘I ask you to wait more patiently.’
The Al-Quds Brigades had previously broadcast video clips of Israeli prisoners, but the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), were the most active in this context.
This message comes in light of the escalation of the movement of families of Israeli prisoners and their supporters to pressure the government of
Benjamin Netanyahu to conclude an immediate prisoner exchange deal, and his government is also being subjected to increasing criticism for the occupation forces causing the death of a number of detainees.
Last March, Al-Qassam broadcast a video clip about the suffering of Israeli soldiers detained in Gaza, and at the beginning of the same month, Abu Ubaida, Al-Qassam spokesman, revealed that ‘the number of enemy prisoners who were killed as a result of the enemy army’s military operations in the Gaza Strip may exceed 70 prisoners.’
On October 7, the Palestinian resistance, led by Al-Qassam, carried out a major attack on bases, barracks and settlements around the Gaza Strip, killing hundreds of Israeli soldiers and officers, and capturing at least 240 Israelis, more than 100 of whom were released during a temporary humanitarian truce in November. Last November.
