Abu Obeida, the military spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, accused the Israeli military of deliberately and repeatedly targeting a location where Israeli captives were being held.

In a post on Telegram, he said, "The occupation army recently targeted a location where some enemy captives were held, bombing it multiple times to ensure that they were killed," stressing that the Resistance group has "intelligence confirming that the enemy deliberately targeted the location with the intent to kill the captives and their guards."

According to the spokesperson, the al-Qassam Brigades freedom fighters launched a search and rescue operation to attempt to retrieve survivors, However, only one captive was successfully retrieved, but his "fate remains unknown."

A few moments after Abu Obeida's post, the al-Qassam Brigades released a video captioned "Netanyahu and Halevi are seeking to get rid of their captives in Gaza by all means."

The footage shows a captive, with blood on their body, struggling to move amid the rubble most probably caused by the bombing Abu Obeida mentioned in his post.

'I am dying little by little', Israeli captive says in new Hamas video

Earlier this month, on December 7, the Military Media of the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas Resistance movement, released a video showing an Israeli captive held in Gaza, addressing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in yet another message demanding the establishment of an immediate captive agreement.

By the time of the video release, Matan Zangauker had been held in Gaza for 420 days, grappling with the deteriorating situation and a worsening health state, fearing for his and his friends' lives, as "Israel" continues its ceaseless onslaught on the Strip.

In the video, Zangauker addresses Netanyahu directly, accusing him of failing the captives and making mistakes, the price for which is being paid by the captives. 

"I am dying little by little, and every part of me dies... We live with little food, and undrinkable water, and little medicine," he said, further expanding on their deteriorating health state as a result of poor hygiene, or the lack thereof, which has caused skin diseases and irritation. 

He also rallied Israeli settlers against Netanyahu, accusing him and the government of neglecting captives and jeopardizing their lives by calling for demonstrations. According to the captive, "[Netanyahu] and his family suffering like us is more like it."

Israeli media reported that Hamas' release of the video comes after "Israel's" intention to strike a partial deal that leaves some captives, including soldiers, behind.

Al-Qassam Brigades announces death of Israeli captive

Late last month, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced the death of an Israeli captive held in northern Gaza.

Spokesperson Abu Obeida confirmed the captive's death by Israeli bombardment and issued a stern warning to the Israeli leadership regarding the fate of other captives amid the relentless aggression.

"The enemy must prepare to face the dilemma of the disappearance of the dead prisoners' bodies," Abu Obeida stated, attributing the incident to the extensive destruction caused by Israeli aggression and the martyrdom of Palestinian captors.

Abu Obeida further revealed that communication had recently been reestablished with the al-Qassam fighters assigned to protect the captives, revealing that one female captive was killed in an area under heavy Zionist aggression while another captive remains in imminent danger.

"After the restoration of the communication that had been cut off for weeks with the fighters tasked with guarding the enemy's prisoners, it turned out that one of the enemy's female prisoners was killed in an area that is under a Zionist aggression in the northern Gaza Strip, while the danger still threatens the life of another (female) prisoner who was with her," Abu Obeida said at the time.
