<p>GAZA, (PIC)</p>
<p>The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, released on Saturday
evening a new message from an Israeli prisoner held captive in Gaza.</p>
<p>In a video clip, Liri Elbag (19 years old) addressed the Israeli
government led by Benjamin Netanyahu: “I ask you, Israeli government. I
really want to ask you. Do you want to kill us?”</p>
<p>She said, “My whole life is still ahead of me, but it has stopped. At
the beginning of the new year, while the whole world celebrates, we are
starting a dark year, a year of loneliness.” She emphasized that the
prisoners held by the resistance are not a priority for Netanyahu’s
government or the occupying army, “even the world has started to forget
us and does not care about our suffering.”</p>
<p>She noted that one of her colleagues is critically injured due to the
current military operations in Gaza and said, “We are in a terrifying
nightmare, and our survival is linked to the withdrawal of the occupying
forces.”</p>
<p>Elbag addressed the Minister of War, “You know my father, look into
his eyes and tell him that he and my mother will not embrace their
daughter, look at him and say that; you won’t have the courage to do
so.”</p>
<p>She added, “I have seen my death with my own eyes, and what happened
to my friend made me realize that our lives are not important to you. I
understood that we are a game for you, I simply understood that you are
playing with our destinies, and you certainly won’t be able to get us
out of here alive through military operations; that doesn’t work, you
know. It’s crazy to think that this method will yield results.”</p>
<p>She continued, “This is a crazy pursuit; what we are experiencing
through your actions is not normal. We are under insane bombardment
every day; do you know what life is like in a place you are bombing with
no shelter?” And she added, “If something happens to me, remember me,
remember my name, and remember this video, and let it be written on my
grave that what happened was due to the government and the army; they
are guilty and accused of killing us, and my blood is on their hands.”</p>
