Israeli strikes before ceasefire could kill captives, says Palestinian Islamic Jihad
18 January 2025 11:49 GMT
Israeli captives' families should ask the Israeli military to stop intensified strikes in the final hours before a ceasefire takes effect as this "would be reason for killing their children", a Palestinian Islamic Jihad spokesperson said on Saturday.
The spokesperson, Abu Hamza, is with the al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, which also holds Israeli captives in addition to the Hamas group.
