If Israeli bombing of civilians without warning does not stop, hostages will be killed, Abu Ubaida, the spokesman of the Izzideen al-Qassam Brigades, has said.
Abu Ubaida said his group has been abiding by Islamic, humanitarian and military values by keeping the Israeli captives safe and sound.
However, he said they are being forced "unfortunately" to act differently due to Israel's stepped-up bombing and killing of civilians inside their homes.
He said if Israel does not stop its bombing of civilians without warning, the group will kill civilian prisoners and document it on video.
