Israeli captive warns of impending death as Israeli genocide in Gaza escalates

January 07, 2025

Al-Qassam Website _ The Ezzeddin Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, has released a message from a Zionist Israeli captive addressing the fascist Israeli government.

In the video, 19-year-old Liri Albag reveals that she has been held captive in Gaza for over 450 days. She expresses how her life feels paused while the rest of the world continues on without her. "My life has stopped, and the world celebrates, while we alone begin a dark year and a year of loneliness," she says. She also notes how neither her government nor the military prioritizes her situation, and the world seems indifferent to her suffering.

Albag speaks about the killing of several Zionist captives, confirming that one of her companions is severely injured due to the attacks of the Israeli occupation military. She describes their living conditions as a terrifying nightmare, emphasizing that their survival depends on the withdrawal of the army and their inability to reach them.

Addressing the Israeli war minister, she says, "After witnessing my own death and seeing what happened to my friend, I realized that our lives don't matter to you. I understand now that we are nothing more than pawns in your game. You've shown that our fates are being played with." She further asserts that military operations will never bring them out alive, adding, "What we're enduring is madness. Every day, we live under relentless bombing."

In her emotional plea at the end of the video, Albag asks, "Do you understand what life is like in a place constantly bombarded with no shelter?" She continues, "If something happens to me, God forbid, remember my name and this video. Let it be written on my grave that all of this is because of the government and the army. They are guilty, and my blood is on their hands." She ends with, "My family... do whatever is necessary."

While Hamas has stated its willingness to a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, the ongoing impasse stems from the occupation government’s unwillingness to accept Hamas' core demands, including a complete Israeli withdrawal and a commitment to end the war.
