The military spokesperson of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, revealed the names of four of the remaining Israeli captives, out of seven, who were killed in "Israel's" bombardment of the Gaza Strip. 

In a brief statement on Saturday, Abu Obeida said that following a thorough examination of the captives' identities, he confirmed the killings of each of Itzik Jarat, Alex Densig, Ronin Tommy Angel, and Eliyahu Margalit.

Earlier in March, Abu Obeida confirmed that seven Israeli captives held in the Gaza Strip were killed by their own military's attacks, adding that the Resistance will demand the release of the same number of Palestinian detainees in exchange for the same number of Israeli captives demanded, be they dead or alive.

Al-Qassam Brigades' Military Media released footage of the three captives, featuring three phrases written in Arabic, English, and Hebrew. The phrases stated, "We tried to keep them alive, but Netanyahu insisted on killing them. All 7 killed by IDF weapons."

A poster al-Qassam Brigades published today showed the Israeli Prime Minister crossing off a picture of his "buddy" Yoram Itak Metzger with a red marker.

"Netanyahu abandoned his buddies to face their fate alone without saving them," the poster read.

The three pre-announced killed captives, Chaim Ben Nechama (Peri), 79, Yoram Ben Miriam (Metzger), 80, and Amiram Ben Sara (Cooper), 84, held significant importance for Israeli society, as they have played key roles in the initial stages of the establishment of the colonial occupation government of "Israel".

In his release, Abu Obeida revealed that the number of "enemy prisoners" killed by Israeli occupation forces "may have exceeded seventy."

"Throughout this time, we have sought to preserve the lives of the prisoners. However, it is evident that the enemy's leadership deliberately intends to eliminate this issue by killing its captives."

However, the military spokesperson confirmed that the Resistance would only exchange the same number of Palestinian detainees for the same number of Israeli captives, be they dead or alive.
