GAZA, Palestine – The Al-Qassam Brigade, one of the most fierce group in the Palestinian Liberation Movement, Hamas has unearthed the basic reason that one of the guards in charge of some of the 120 captives in Gaza opened fire, leading to the death of one of the captives.
Two other captives were also shot in another location on the same day. But Abu Obeida was not forthcoming with updates on state of the other two wounded captives
In a statement, Spokesman of the group, Abu Obeida said the guard opened fire in revenge for the civilian massacres committed by the Israeli Defence Forces, IDF at the Al-Tabaeen school, housing displaced Palestinians in Gaza and other areas.
“After investigating the killing of an enemy prisoner by his guard, it became clear that the soldier assigned to guard him acted in a vengeful manner contrary to instructions after receiving news of the martyrdom of his two children in one of the enemy’s massacres”, he said.
He emphasized that the incident does not represent ethics and the teachings of “our religion in dealing with prisoners, and we will tighten the instructions after the incident has been repeated in two cases so far”, he said.
Abu Obeida added: “We hold the enemy fully responsible for all the suffering and dangers that its prisoners are exposed to as a result of its violation of all the rules of humane and humanitarian treatment and its practice of brutal genocide against our people”.
