Israeli captives in Gaza warn Israel's bombs are endangering their lives

Two Israeli captives held in Gaza have warned that their lives are in danger as a result of Israel’s decision to return to bombing the enclave.

In a video released by Al-Qassam Brigades yesterday, Elkana Bohbot and Yosef-Haim Ohana said: “When the [ceasefire] deal began and the crossings were opened, Hamas fighters took care of us, and we began to feel better. We were relieved of hunger and began to breathe fresh air.”

“March 18th, the Israeli government decided to attack Gaza from the air. That attack could have killed us,” he added.

The captives then accused the Israeli government of “silencing” the voices of freed captives.

“Enough with this government silencing our voices,” Bohbot angrily says in the video. “The prisoners who were with us before and are now released, give them a chance to speak and express their opinions. Stop silencing their voices. Let them speak. Let the truth come out.”

“We want you to know that Hamas did not ask us to say this, that this video clip is not intended for psychological warfare. We are the ones who asked and begged to be heard. Please hear our voice,” Ohana pleaded.

The clip comes nearly a week after the Israeli army resumed strikes on Gaza despite a ceasefire agreement reached with the Palestinian resistance in January.
