According to the report of Fars News Agency, the Israeli army admitted to killing another of its prisoners in Gaza, Yossi Sharabi, as a result of an airstrike.
The Israeli army said that “Sharabi” was probably kept in a building adjacent to one of the places targeted by the fighters and was killed “by accident”.
According to the announcement The Israeli army’s attack on nearby structures caused the collapse of the building where Sharabi was kept.
The regime army also claimed that there is a possibility that Sharabi was killed by Hamas. and without having his body in his possession, it is not possible to give a 100% definitive opinion about the manner and cause of his death.
About three weeks ago, the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, announced that Yossi 53-year-old Sharabi and another Israeli prisoner, 38-year-old Itai Osvirsky, were killed in the Israeli attack. And it was announced that he survived the Israeli attack in a video released by Hamas. The target of the Israeli air attack was an F-16 fighter jet.” He adds: “Three rockets were fired.

Argamani continued: “After the building was hit, we were all under the rubble. . Al-Qassam soldiers saved Itai’s and mine’s lives, but unfortunately we couldn’t save Yousi.” He further clarified: “After a few days, Itai’s and I were transferred to another place. During our transfer, Itai was the target of an air strike and this time he did not survive.”
The Israeli army also admitted in December of this year to the wrongful killing of three more of its prisoners in Gaza.
The spokesman of the Israeli army said on December 24: “During the combat operation in Shujaiyeh (in the north of Gaza), the army mistakenly identified three of the hostages as threats.” As a result, our forces shot at them and they were killed.”
He added: “During the search and inspection in the area where this happened, we suspected the identity of the deceased. Their bodies were taken to Israel for further investigation, and after the investigations, it was determined that they were three hostages.”
The Israeli army announced on Wednesday of this week (18 Bahman/7 February). 25% of the remaining prisoners in Gaza have been killed.
However, the New York Times reported that this number may be even higher. This newspaper said that the number of prisoners whose deaths have been confirmed is 32 and possibly up to 50. The newspaper did not mention the figures due to inconsistencies.
In a statement on Wednesday, Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said that Tel Aviv had informed the families of 31 prisoners that “their loved ones They are no longer alive and we have confirmed their deaths.”
Hagari did not mention more details about the causes of death of these prisoners, but Hamas has previously attributed the deaths of these people to Israeli attacks. has attributed.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, who is under pressure these days due to the non-fulfillment of the 2 declared war goals of Israel in Gaza, recently claimed in a meeting with the family members of the Israeli prisoners. Tel Aviv has a special initiative for the release of prisoners. At the same time, he said that he would not explain more about this issue.
Israel has set the release of prisoners from Gaza and the destruction of Hamas as its war goals in Gaza. Despite this, the realization of both of these goals has come to a dead end.
The New York Times newspaper recently reported that a number of senior commanders of the Israeli army have now come to the conclusion that the simultaneous realization of both goals It is not possible, and any long-term plan to destroy Hamas will inevitably lead to the death of prisoners.
Furthermore, many analysts, even in occupied Palestine, question the possibility of the complete destruction of Hamas. have taken “Gadi Eisenkot”, one of the former officials of the Israeli army, who is currently a member of the war cabinet of Benjamin Netanyahu, described the promises of the Israeli authorities for the complete destruction of Hamas as “storytelling” a few weeks ago.
Ehud Olmert, the former prime minister of the Zionist regime, also wrote in a note in Haaretz newspaper a few days ago that Netanyahu himself knows that he is not able to eliminate Hamas.
Western analysts It is said that the Palestinian Islamic resistance movement, Hamas, has survived the repeated attempts of the Israeli regime to eliminate itself since its inception. Military and political experts told The New York Times last month that the organization’s structure was designed to withstand plots to destroy it. who has a history of chairing Israel’s Internal Security Council, in an interview with this American newspaper, said that Hamas has shown that it has the necessary ability to immediately replace its dead commanders with others who are equally capable.
Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, on the 7th of October (15th of October), in response to more than seven decades of occupation of Palestine and nearly two decades of siege of Gaza and imprisonment and torture of thousands of Palestinians, started the operation known as “Al-Aqsa Storm” .
This operation was one of the deadliest attacks against this regime. Hamas fighters penetrated into the occupied territories through the border fences at several points, attacked the villages and besides killing a large number of Israelis, captured a number of them. Reports indicate that Hamas is currently holding 136 Israeli prisoners in Gaza.
In response to this operation, the Zionist regime launched heavy attacks against Gaza and placed this area under siege. put full More than 27,000 Palestinians have been martyred in Israel’s attacks in Gaza so far, and tens of thousands more have been injured. Despite this, as analysts say, the al-Aqsa storm operation has imposed a major security-political defeat on Israel.
The mediation of Egypt, Qatar and the United States for the release of prisoners has not been successful so far. The Hamas movement said that negotiations for the exchange of prisoners will be possible only if the deadly attacks on Gaza end. Israelis and 24 prisoners of foreign countries were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians. In early November, Hamas announced that 60 prisoners were killed in Israeli ground operations in Gaza.
