The Islamic Jihad commander says that his group alone has 30 captives.
The secretary general of Islamic Jihad, Ziad al-Nahala, said that the prisoners “will not be returned home except in exchange for the release of prisoners".
"It is quite clear that the enemy is broken. Already in the early hours, he begged for assistance from his first ally, the United States, which is the chief of villains in the world."
