   number of your captives in order to save other captives", June 9, 2024
   (Military Media)

The military wing of the Hamas Resistance movement, the Izz ad-Din
al-Qassam Brigades, released Sunday a video entitled, "Your Israeli
government killed a number of your captives in order to save other
captives," in which they revealed that the Israeli occupation forces did
exactly that.

The video addresses Israeli settlers, underlining that the Israeli
occupation forces killed three of their own captives in Nuseirat Camp in
exchange for recovering four other captives

from the same location on Saturday.

According to the al-Qassam Brigades, one of the three killed captives held
American citizenship. The video shows scenes of the intense and brutal
bombardment by Israeli forces on Nuseirat Camp, which resulted in a
horrifying massacre, leading to the deaths of 274 Palestinians

.

The footage documents the injuries among Palestinian civilians caused by
the massacre, including children. Additionally, al-Qassam displayed images
of the three captives killed by the Israeli occupation forces during the
offensive in Nuseirat to retrieve the four captives.

The video concludes with a message to Israeli settlers: "Your captives will
not be released unless our prisoners are freed," reiterating their warning
that the time for the Israeli captives held in Gaza is running out.

The release of this video follows a statement by al-Qassam spokesperson Abu
Obeida, wherein he stressed that the first victims of the massacre in
Nuseirat were Israeli captives. He emphasized that while the Israeli
occupation managed to recover some captives through horrific massacres,
they also killed some in the process.

He warned that the operation posed a significant risk to the remaining
captives and would negatively impact their conditions and lives.

The Hamas Resistance movement affirmed Saturday that the Israeli occupation
army's announcement of the retrieval of several captives, after eight
months of aggression in which it used all military, technological, and
security means, and committed all kinds of crimes, from massacres to
genocide, starvation, and siege, "will not change its strategic failure in
the Gaza Strip

".

The Israeli occupation forces launched on Saturday numerous airstrikes

 using animal-drawn carts and private vehicles due to the dire
circumstances of the healthcare system.

According to *Al Mayadeen's* correspondent in Gaza, an Israeli special
force had infiltrated Nuseirat

 Camp. Upon the force's discovery by the Resistance, heavy confrontations
ensued. According to our correspondent, it was the discovery of the force
that led to this heavy Israeli shelling and the massacre in the camp.
