After the IDF discovered the bodies of six murdered hostages over the weekend, Hamas announced on Telegram that its new policy is to kill hostages if Israeli soldiers come to rescue them.
Hamas reversed an earlier statement after the bodies of the hostages were recovered, claiming that they died in IDF airstrikes.
Although Hamas now admits to killing the hostages, they continue to lay the blame on Israel.
In a Telegram post, the spokesperson for Hamas’ armed wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obaida wrote, “Netanyahu and the occupation army alone bear full responsibility for the deaths of the prisoners. They deliberately obstructed any prisoner exchange deal for their own narrow interests, and intentionally killed dozens of prisoners through direct airstrikes.”
He continued, “Netanyahu’s insistence on liberating the prisoners through military pressure instead of concluding a deal will mean that they will return to their families inside coffins and their families will have to choose whether they are dead or alive.”
