The Al-Mujahideen Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Al-Mujahideen Movement, has reiterated its assertion that the Israeli occupation is fully responsible for the killing of the Bibas family who were held captive in the Gaza Strip.
The statement came in response to the Israeli military spokesman who fabricated lies repeatedly regarding the circumstances of the Israeli family's death, particularly after the martyrdom of Commander Mohammed Awad, a member of the military council and head of the Brigades' intelligence service.
The Brigades reiterated their rejection of the allegations made by the spokesperson and his accusation that the martyred leader Awad was responsible for the killing of the Bibas family, stressing that the perpetrators were "rockets from the Zionist terrorist army."
The statement detailed how such Zionist fabrications will not succeed in covering up the heinous and ongoing crimes of genocide against the children, women, and elderly of our steadfast Palestinian people and are a blatant attempt to evade responsibility for the deliberate killing of Israeli captives under Benjamin Netanyahu's command.
The martyrdom of Awad, after a long journey, will not "halt the path of resistance."
In late February, Hamas rejected Israeli accusations that the movement was responsible for the deaths of Kfir and Ariel Bibas, two Israeli children who were among the captives held in Gaza. The two were killed inside the blockaded strip, and their bodies were handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross under a ceasefire agreement.
The movement dismissed the Israeli claims as "pure lies" and an attempt to "evade responsibility for the army’s role in the family's death."
Israeli occupation forces spokesperson Daniel Hagari stated on Friday that "Kfir and Ariel were killed in cold blood, not by gunfire but by hand."
In response, Hamas issued a statement rejecting the allegations, calling them "nothing but pure lies that add to a long series of fabrications spread by the Israeli military spokesperson over the past 15 months in the context of the genocide against our Palestinian people."
The statement continued, "This is a desperate attempt to evade responsibility for its criminal army’s role in the family's death, alongside its other crimes against detainees in Gaza."
Hamas accused the Israeli military and its media outlets of trying to "divert global public attention from their brutal crimes, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and massacres committed against unarmed civilians and all aspects of life in the Gaza Strip, only for the world to later uncover the falsehood of their narratives and the horror of their crimes against humanity.
