After the death of six Israeli hostages in Gaza, pressure is mounting on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to call for a ceasefire and release the hostages. After the Israeli PM's tough stance on Monday, Hamas' armed wing warned that if Israel continues its military operation, the hostages will come to Israeli soil in coffins. He also said that new instructions have been given to the Mujahideen protecting the hostages.
A statement issued by a spokesman for the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades
Abu Obeida, a spokesman for the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, said in a statement that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's insistence on freeing prisoners by continuing the military operation instead of a compromise would mean the hostages would be returned to their families in coffins.
New instructions given to Mujahideen
He warned that the mujahideen guarding the hostages had been given new instructions to fight Israeli forces if they approached the location where the hostages were being held.
Hamas will be completely destroyed
Netanyahu had earlier said that the bodies of 6 hostages have been found. They were hanged by Hamas terrorists. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also took a tough stand against Hamas, saying, “Those who kill hostages do not want an agreement for a Gaza ceasefire.” Netanyahu promised that those Hamas terrorists would be destroyed. After the death of 6 hostages, the people of Israel took to the streets and appealed to the PM to release the hostages soon.
101 hostages are still with Hamas
It is worth noting that the US, Qatar and Egypt have been trying to mediate between Hamas and Israel for the past several months to establish a ceasefire. But Hamas is adamant on its demand for complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and a permanent ceasefire. On the other hand, Israel is talking about stopping the war only after the complete destruction of Hamas. The people of Israel are very angry with these decisions of Netanyahu. Expressing their displeasure, people are appealing to the government to reach an agreement as soon as possible to bring the hostages home safely.
So far around 1200 people have been killed in this war
So far, around 1200 people have been killed in this war that has been going on for the last 11 months. About 250 people have been taken hostage. It is being said that Hamas still holds more than 100 Israeli citizens hostage. While more than 40 thousand Palestinians have died in Gaza so far. About 90 percent of the approximately 2.3 lakh people have been forced to leave their homes.
