GAZA, Jan. 07 (YPA) – The Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, released on Saturday evening a video recording of four Israeli soldiers, who had been held captive in the Gaza Strip before they were shot dead by the Israeli occupation forces in al-Shuja’iya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
The video recording included scenes of four soldiers making appeals to their government to stop the war and bombardments and work on having them released.
The attached video shows the settler captives Yotam Haim, Samer Talalka, and Alon Shamriz who were killed by occupation soldiers while waving white flags and shouting for help in Hebrew in Shujaiya neighborhood in Gaza.
Prior to their deaths, the settlers recorded messages to their families in which they expressed their desire to be freed. They also directed a message to Netanyahu in which they asked him to stop the bombing of Gaza, as they had nearly been bombed multiple times. Finally, they attested that Palestinian resistance fighters had treated them well throughout their captivity.
The video opens with text which reads, “Their wish was to return alive, but something changed.” It concludes with text which reads “Netanyahu and his racist, extremist government killed them. Time passes and fades.”
