Hamas: New Palestinian Detainees Deal with ’Israel’
Local Editor
The Hamas resistance movement Sunday raised the prospect of exchanging an "Israeli" soldier declared dead in the 2014 war in return for Palestinian detainees.
Relatively, spokesman for Hamas' military arm, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, said that "the resistance has ... cards in its hands that will force the enemy to release you," referring to the detainees in the Zionist jail.
In the context, bodies of two soldiers killed in the 2014 Gaza war, Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin, are believed to be held by Hamas, which has not yet clarified their fate.
The movement's chief in Gaza Ismail Haniyeh announced earlier Friday that the Qassam Brigades were preparing "for any future clashes with the Zionist enemy," including building tunnels on the border with the occupied territories.
According to Haniyeh, a tunnel was used to capture Shaul, and tunnels were "strategic weapons" against "Israel" in which Hamas fighters were also training and acquiring "all the means to fight and resist."
The 50-day war in July-August 2014 martyred 2,200 Palestinians and destroyed or damaged thousands of homes in the besieged Gaza Strip.
