Hamas to Release Some Foreign Captives in Coming Days
Channel News Asia ^ | 04 May 2025

Hamas has told mediators it will release a number of foreign captives in the coming days, Abu Ubaida, the spokesman of the group's armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, said in a video on its Telegram account on Tuesday (May 3).

The Brigades spokesman did not give more details on the number of captives or their nationalities.

He also said his group clashed with the Israeli army on three fronts and was able to "kill and injure a number of Israeli soldiers" as well as destroy 22 military vehicles. The unit's navy also used an underwater missile called 'Aasif' for the first time in the conflict, Abu Ubaida said. Reuters was not able to independently verify the claims.

“Some.” So, an unknown number. “In the coming days.” So, an unspecified deadline. Why is Hamas still walking the Earth?

Too little. Too late. Release means nothing. Hamas must be destroyed.

Food for hostages is more palatable than bombs for dead hostages.

The only acceptable outcome is the complete extermination of every single Hamas member and their combined families.

Period.

The use of the term “captives” instead of “hostages” tells me all I need to know about this media outlet.

Don’t believe these terrorists until you see them releasing the hostages.

That and the “armed wing” nonsense.

They are terrorists, all Hamas members, including the “political wings,” too.

Treating one faction or another differently because of baseless assumptions that the militant factions have different goals that the political factions is just a waste of time and life.

TAQIYYA. Not a single political word said by a Muslim can be trusted.

NOT. A. SINGLE. WORD.
