One of the goals of the Hamas operation in Israel is to take hostages,“ said Dawud Shihab, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group. According to him, this serves two purposes: first, as part of an exchange for Palestinians imprisoned in Israel, and second, to deter an Israeli ground operation in the Gaza Strip. “All prisoners held by resistance organizations will be kept until all our prisoners are released from Israeli prisons,“ Shihab stated. He mentioned that Israelis had previously detained Palestinian women and children, so “we are not concerned if there are women and children among the captured Israelis.“ “Resistance forces have considered all Israeli options, including ground action. The Israelis are aware that every step will come at a cost,“ Shihab added. #source Источник: Slavyangrad
