The families of Israeli captives held in Gaza continue to call for the removal of Netanyahu's administration, emphasizing that prolonging the war in Gaza risks the captives' lives, as the Qassam Brigades release a video showing the extraction and rescue of an injured Israeli captive under the rubble.

The families of Israeli captives in Gaza affirmed that the sole path to their release lies in toppling Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration and installing a new government, insisting that the removal of Netanyahu’s leadership is the critical objective of this phase, as they urged "all to mobilize and protest in the streets to overthrow the current regime."

In a statement issued this Saturday, the families asserted that "if we want to rebuild Israel and close the chapter of October 7th, we must overthrow Netanyahu’s government." Additionally, they demanded an immediate end to the hostilities, accusing Netanyahu of "still sacrificing our sons to save his own government" and prolonging the war to serve his political goals.

The families condemned the call-up of additional Israeli "army" reserve forces, stressing that this would "only lead to more of our sons being killed," accusing Netanyahu of "sending more soldiers into Gaza to kill the captives rather than rescue them."

The families urged Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir to refrain from any military operation in Gaza, warning it would lead to the captives' deaths, while also appealing to US President Donald Trump with the message: "Do not abandon the captives, and beware of Netanyahu's schemes."

Al-Qassam rescues captive from rubble

Meanwhile, the military media of Al-Qassam Brigades released a video showing resistance fighters extracting an Israeli captive from beneath the rubble and resuscitating him, with the footage revealing that the captive sustained injuries due to an Israeli airstrike on Gaza.

In the video, Captive, given the number 2,4, directly addressed Israeli forces, revealing that their underground shelter was bombed despite an active ceasefire agreement. "They attacked us while we were buried beneath the rubble," he stated, blaming his injuries on what he called Israel's "reckless military pressure tactics."

He sharply criticized Netanyahu's justification for continuing the war as a rescue operation for captives, calling it a blatant lie.
