He added in a videotaped broadcast that since a big attack on southern Israel on October 7, 200 persons had been taken prisoner by Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, and that another 50 were being held by other “resistance factions and in other places.”
The bodies of those murdered in Israel’s shelling of Gaza, which was set off by a devastating Hamas strike, are piling up in the hospital morgues there; an ice cream truck has even been used to store corpses until they are buried.
