Amid intensifying Israeli attacks, Hamas on Sunday warned that no hostage would leave the territory alive unless the demands are met.
Abu Obeida, spokesperson for Hamas's armed wing, in a televised broadcast said "Neither the fascist enemy and its arrogant leadership... nor its supporters... can take their prisoners alive without an exchange and negotiation and meeting the demands of the resistance.”
With Israeli tanks pushing into the heart of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, Hamas has vowed to continue its fights against the IDF troops.
The one week of Gaza truce saw the release of 105 hostages held by the group. Israel has released 240 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the hostages.
"We have no choice but to fight this barbaric occupier in every neighbourhood, street and alley," said Obeida.
"The enemy's holocaust aims to break the strength of our resistance... but we are fighting on our land in a holy battle,” he added.
Meanwhile, amid the intensifying Israel-Hezbollah attacks, six Israeli soldiers were injured. The IDF said that two of the drones launched from Lebanon were shot down by the Iron Dome missile defense system.
The wounded were taken to Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya. Meanwhile, the IDF said it had carried out a “widespread” wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon in response to repeated border attacks, hitting targets including rocket launch sites, military compounds, and other infrastructure belonging to the terror group, reported Times of Israel.
