In a recent development from the Gaza Strip, Abu Ubeida, the military spokesman for the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has reported that Israeli airstrikes on the Nusirat refugee camp have resulted in the deaths of prisoners. This statement comes amidst escalating tensions and ongoing violence in the region.
According to Al-Alem, Abu Ubeida conveyed through a Telegram post on Saturday that the Israeli attacks on Nusirat camp represent a "complex and hybrid war crime." He highlighted that the victims included the prisoners held by the Israelis themselves, indicating the severe implications of the strike.
Abu Ubeida condemned the Israeli actions as brutal and heinous, accusing the Israeli forces of killing some of their own captives while releasing others during the chaos. He warned that such operations would significantly endanger the lives of remaining prisoners and deteriorate their conditions.
The Israeli military confirmed that four Israeli prisoners were released during the operation in Nusirat. The operation involved a clandestine entry by Israeli special forces into the camp, which was met with resistance from local forces. The ensuing conflict prompted a heavy Israeli response, involving missile and bomb attacks from multiple fronts—land, air, and sea. This bombardment resulted in numerous casualties, including the deaths and injuries of many Palestinian civilians.
This incident adds to the growing list of violent exchanges in the region, underscoring the fragile and volatile situation in Gaza. Both sides continue to suffer severe losses, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis and complicating efforts towards a peaceful resolution.
