Israeli captives held in areas targeted for evacuation by the regime: Al-Qassam Brigades

Half of the Israeli living captives are reportedly located in areas where the regime demanded be evacuated in recent days. 

“We have decided not to transfer these captives from these areas, keeping them under strict security measures, knowing that these measures place their lives at extreme risk,” Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida said.

“If the enemy is concerned about the lives of these captives, it must negotiate immediately for their evacuation or release,” he added.

Israel violates international law with forced evacuations in Gaza: UN

The United Nations Human Rights Office says Israel is violating international law by forcibly displacing the Palestinians in Gaza under "mandatory evacuation orders."

Hamas announced that the Israeli regime’s prime minister bears full responsibility for the lives of the captives.

“Had it been concerned about them, it would have adhered to the agreement signed in January, and perhaps most of them would be at home today,” the spokesperson said.

According to the United Nations Human Rights Office, the Israeli military has issued 10 evacuation orders since March 18, covering large parts of Gaza’s territory, including more than half of northern Gaza.
