Abu Ubaida, the spokesman of the Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades, gestures as he speaks during an anti- Israel military show in the southern Gaza Strip, Nov 11, 2019. CAIRO: Hamas' armed wing said on Monday that since June the group has been operating under new instructions on how to handle hostages should Israel i forces approach their locations in Gaza .
The new instructions, Ubaida said, were given to guards of hostages after a rescue operation by Israel in June. At that time, Israeli forces freed four hostages in a raid in which dozens of Palestinians, including women and children, were killed. Netanyahu said in a press conference on Monday that the hostages had been shot in the back of the head, and promised that Hamas would pay a heavy price.
Similarly, Ezzat El Rashq, a member of the Hamas political bureau, said in a statement published by the group on Monday:"The resistance's hostages can immediately return to their families, the stalling their return and responsibility for their lives is Netanyahu."
