Abu Obeida, spokesman for the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, pledged in a speech to release the prisoners who were re-arrested after escaping from an Israeli jail on Monday.

He also stressed that the rearrest of the prisoners does not hide the extent of shame Israel is going through as Palestinian inmates have shaken their security system reputation.

Immediately after Abu Obeida speech, Palestinian resistance fired rockets towards the occupied lands to show that they are ready to face the Israeli regime and defend Palestinians. In response, the Israeli airplane launched an airstrike on the Gaza Strip.

In conjunction with this, the resistance factions held a national conference stressing the importance of the resistance.

On Saturday evening the re-arrested prisoners appeared at the Israeli Court in the city of Nazareth to extend their detention while being deprived of having a lawyer.

People here insist on supporting the Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli jails and considering them the symbol of the Palestinian cause. The Palestinian factions believe that the resistance is the only way to get their rights back.
