Gaza - "Jerusalem" dot com - Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said this evening, Sunday, that what the Al- Qassam Brigades published on the issue of the captured Israeli soldiers reflects the ability and wisdom of the Al-Qassam leadership to play the important cards it has, and to bring about a strategic shift in this file. .

In a press statement, Barhoum pointed out that what was published by the Al-Qassam Brigades is a letter addressed primarily to the Israeli public that everything their government is selling to them about the fate of the soldiers is just lies to cover up its weakness and failure to manage this file.

And he considered that what was published was throwing the ball back into the box of the occupation government in order to bear the responsibility, consequences and costs of concluding any new deal.

In response to the Al-Qassam Brigades' announcement, a senior Israeli security official said in an interview carried by the Hebrew channel Reshet Kan: "This announcement is a great and false manipulation that stems from frustration and a desire to influence in order to conduct negotiations before the elections.. Israel works in every way and at all times to return the prisoners and the missing." And so we will continue to work." according to his expression.

Another official was quoted by Ynet, the Hebrew website, as saying: "We should not fall in love with Hamas' provocations. This is a shame. After 8 years of Operation Protective Edge, this declaration is only a result of the fact that we do not blink in front of Hamas, which is living in a state of despair." From not releasing the killers, Hamas is under great pressure, and we will continue to work to liberate the prisoners and the missing, and we will not stop, and in return we will not release the killers who have blood on their hands. according to his expression.

Zur Goldin, the brother of the soldier Hadar, who was captured by the Qassam, said: "Hamas' belief is a lie. They will pay a heavy price in Hamas for every moment my brother is with them." according to his expression
