The Israeli occupation army announced, on Monday evening, the killing of four detainees in Gaza, during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7.

The occupation army said in a statement, “Army representatives informed the families of Haim Peri, Yoram Metzger, Amiram Cooper, and Nadav Popplewell, who were detained and transferred to the Gaza Strip on October 7, that they had died and their bodies were being held by Hamas.”

The occupation army claimed that the killing of the four detainees was based on “intelligence information confirmed by a committee of experts affiliated with the Ministry of Health, in coordination with the Ministry of Religious Services and the Chief Rabbi of Israel.”

It also allegedly used a wide range of methods to collect information about detainees in the Gaza Strip.

On Saturday, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, published a video clip luring an occupation army force in which soldiers were captured and others were wounded and killed on the twenty-fifth of last May.

The video explained that after the Qassam members lured the occupation soldiers into one of the tunnels, and as soon as they left the tunnel, the resistance members advanced to the ambush site.

It added: “According to the plan agreed upon in advance, when the occupation soldiers arrived at the ambush area inside the tunnel, Al-Qassam elements clashed with them from a distance of zero, killed two of the soldiers, and blew up the eye of the tunnel.

It continued: "Then the occupation army dug the area at the tunnel's entrance to its path, and brought its soldiers into it thinking that the Qassam elements had withdrawn from inside it. Contrary to its expectations, the Qassam elements had ambushed inside the tunnel and planted a number of camouflaged devices inside it."

Al-Qassam continued: “The enemy inserted a support force into the tunnel, and after it passed one of the bombs and came within range of fire from Al-Qassam members, they opened fire on it from zero distance and detonated the device with it.”

It pointed out that after that, Al-Qassam members blew up the tunnel after withdrawing from it.

Al-Qassam confirmed that the operation left the force’s soldiers dead, wounded, and captured, and the equipment of a number of soldiers was seized.

Al-Qassam indicated that a member of the force had his body in the hands of its members, sending a message to the occupation government that it knew his identity well, saying: Why do you lie to your public? Is he one of the mercenaries whom you have not announced since October 7? Or is your racism present in the distinction between your dead? ".
