Hamas has said it will execute hostages if Israel bombs residential areas with out warning. Now they have issued more demands for their release.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hamas wants US prisoners freed alongside those in Israel as part of a deal the terrorist group could make to release dozens of hostages taken to Gaza.
An exiled Hamas leader in Lebanon, Ali Barakeh, said that the group would aim to secure the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli and American prisons. He has been the group's leader in Lebanon for years and is in charge of coordinating other Palestinian groups there.
Without specifying who, he said: "There are Palestinians held in America. We will ask for their release."
In 2009, a court in Dallas sentenced two founding members of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, once the largest US Muslim charity, to 65 years in prison for funneling millions of dollars to Hamas.
Three other men were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 15 to 20 years for conspiracy.
Barakeh added: "We have prepared well for this war and to deal with all scenarios, even the scenario of the long war. We will bring life to a stop in the Zionist entity if the aggression does not stop on Gaza."
Barakeh said Hamas has so far employed only a small number of its own forces. He said nearly 2,000 Hamas fighters have taken part in the latest fighting, out of an army of 40,000 in Gaza alone.
Hamas may also be able to count on its allies if it faces a major setback. On Sunday, Hezbollah fired several rockets and shells at three Israeli positions in a disputed area.
On Monday, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group claimed it sent four gunmen across Lebanon’s border into Israel.
The militants said they had wounded seven Israeli soldiers. Israel said its own forces shot and killed several gunmen who crossed into the country from Lebanon. It also shelled southern Lebanon in response.
Off subject, while worth repeating, the latest win update is causing periodic
double post as well as 'back' arrow jumping back two web pages.
Annoying, is an understatement.
This wouldn’t have even been an option for hamas if President Trump were in office.
They are already dead. Bomb that place into gravel.
And according to Israel, they've killed around 1500 Hamas hacks on their territory... Send the rest and they'll gladly kill them too.
The spokespersons for this half-*ssed Hamas organization are obviously devoid of any common sense.
Iran got 6 Billion for five prisoners recently, why not give it a try?
This is why we should not negotiate.
Biden might just hand them over. And another 6 billion on top of that.
And a plane waiting at the airport too?
Jeez, what will Bidet do? He already traded a Russian weapons dealer for a pothead basketball player.
That murdering genocidal crazy fuck was given a Nobel Peace Prize just for attending the Camp David Accords. The Committee also gave a Peace Prize to Obama after a few weeks in office for exactly nothing. That so-called Peace Prize is not worth the paper or copper it's printed on.
Me too. How are they still alive?
Yeah, but she was black and lesbian, so that makes her a VIP for Biden.
Fly them back to Gaza from the US. At 1000feet over the city market, toss em out.
We will contract delivery with the Chilean AF.
What ever happened to “No negotiations with Terrorists”? I guess it’s just roll over and bend over for them now.
This may be an indication that the attacks were planned by Hamas partisans in the USA.
“Hamas wants”
Give them a week of high intensity warfare, and they will likely want something else.
It is going to be a while before we get to talking phase of the Operation...
This is what we get when those who've hijacked this government allows tens of millions of illegals and foreign national to pour into our country. Through our borders and via their dangerous chain immigration policies of sabotage, millions flood in unabated.
PRECISELY what I was thinking.
