ALBAWABA - Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades broadcast a video message from one of the six Israeli detainees whose remains the Israeli army found in a tunnel in Rafah, southern Gaza, on Monday.
Aidan Yerushalmi, from Tel Aviv, said she was arrested at a music event in Re'im on October 7.
Yerushalmi (24) pleaded with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his administration to immediately free her via a prisoner swap arrangement. She mentioned Netanyahu's 2011 arrangement to free over 1,000 Palestinian detainees in return for Gilad Shalit.
Yerushalmi questioned her life's worth, "They want less than a quarter apiece. Am I worth less?" She stated her dread of death and want to return home during the onslaught.
She also emphasized the horrific circumstances Israeli detainees in Gaza experience and urged the Israeli people to protest and encourage Netanyahu to complete a prisoner swap to repatriate them. A touching message to her family included in the video.
This film was released after Netanyahu gave a speech in which he promised to resist international and internal pressure to negotiate a prisoner swap over the Philadelphi Corridor.
Al-Qassam posted photographs of the six Israeli inmates earlier in the day and stated intentions to reveal their last remarks before their executions. Al-Qassam fighters held guns in front of prisoners, displaying Arabic and Hebrew messages: "Military pressure kills and fails. Exchanged prisoners get freedom and life."
Al-Qassam Brigades, said that they will make public a video featuring the last words spoken by six captives just before they were killed in a tunnel in Gaza.
Excerpts from the captives' remarks were provided by the Qassam Brigades today; the whole video is anticipated to be made available shortly.
The six captives discovered in Rafah were shot many times at close range on Thursday or early Friday, according to a report earlier this week from the Israeli Ministry of Health. The six captives, who were Israeli, American, and Russian citizens, were identified by the Israeli military after it claimed on Saturday that it had found unidentified corpses in Gaza.
