HAMAS: IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR THE RESISTANCE TO KILL OR TORTURE ISRAELI POWERS
Talal Nassar, one of the leaders of the Hamas Movement, denied the allegations that Israeli prisoners captured due to war conditions were tortured or killed. Speaking to the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera television channel, Nassar denied the allegations of killing or torture of the captives and said:
“It is not possible for the resistance to kill or torture Israeli prisoners. The real criminals with blood on their hands are the invaders who distort the facts. The resistance forces treat the prisoners in all humane ways.”
Stating that they rely on Arab people, not Arab leaders, Nassar continued his words as follows:
“I do not expect the occupation forces to attempt a land operation in Gaza because they are afraid of the Palestinians, the owners of the land. We did not regret carrying out the Aqsa Flood operation. Our goal is to save our land, we know that the price is expensive. We are aware that the balance of power is not in our favor. The world is not fair to us. However, “Our people trust in the power of resistance to change the equation.”
