Hamas ruled out further hostage release until Israel stops war
GAZA: The Palestinian resistance group Hamas has once again ruled out the possibility of further hostage release until Israel stops its war on Gaza, reported Al Jazeera.
"We would like to confirm that no negotiations will be held for a prisoner swap until the aggression against us completely stops," said Hamas spokesperson Osama Hamdan.
He further rebuked allegations accusing the group of undermining truce attempts.
An Israeli woman who was freed in a recent prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas said her mother was killed and she was wounded when Israeli forces opened fire on the vehicle in which they were abducted, Anadolu Agency reports.
In an interview that aired on Israel’s Channel 12, the woman recounted being taken by fighters from the Palestinian group’s armed wing the Al-Qassam Brigades in a tractor, which came under Israeli fire.
“My mother, whom I loved so much, was killed. I was injured in my back and my brother was injured in his leg,” she said.
The channel claimed the Israeli army “opened fire to stop the tractor from heading to Gaza”.
