Al-Qassam: To our free prisoners: Gaza, its Resistance, have given their most precious possessions, have striven with all their might to break your chains; we pledge that your cause will remain at the top of our national priorities until you are all freed.
Al-Qassam Brigades: Instead its army killed dozens of them as a result of its failed policy of military pressure.
Al-Qassam Brigades: Nazi occupation could have recovered most of its captives alive many months ago, but it kept stalling and acting arrogantly.
Al-Qassam Brigades: Enemy has submitted and is now retrieving its captives through a prisoner exchange deal, just as the Resistance had promised from the very beginning.
Al-Qassam Brigades: Enemy has failed to recover its captives through military pressure, despite its intelligence superiority and surplus of power.
Al-Qassam Brigades: Enemy thwarted all efforts due to its narrow calculations and to satisfy the savage and vengeful instincts of its Nazi government.
Al-Qassam Brigades: Resistance has always been keen to stop the war of extermination and has pursued this goal since early months of war.
Al-Qassam Brigades: We announce our commitment to the agreement and to the timelines associated with it, as long as the occupation abides by them.
Statement by Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades: The agreement that has been reached is the fruit of our people’s steadfastness and the resilience of our resistance fighters.
