ALBAWABA -Al-Qassam Brigades, the military branch of Hamas, has unveiled a new film featuring Israeli detainees who have been declared dead in Gaza. The murdered inmates are shown asking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the video, which was released on Thursday, to complete a prisoner swap arrangement.
Heartbreaking footage of Israelis lamenting the death of family members starts the film. The sad song "I'm Coming Home" plays as it cuts to pictures of coffins covered in Israeli flags and rabbis performing funeral rites.
In the video, the inmates speak to the Israeli people just before they are killed, imploring them to put pressure on their government to ensure that the swap agreement results in their release.
In the video, the late Israeli-American prisoner Hirsch Goldberg Polin says, "The worst part is that my country, Israel, is bombing me relentlessly."
The Israeli government's handling of the problem is criticized by another prisoner, Alexander Lobanov, who says, "You keep failing in every attempt to release us alive."
"You, who freed over 1,000 prisoners in the Shalit deal, are now being asked for less than a quarter for each of us," pleads prisoner Adin Yerushalmi to Netanyahu. I don't understand... do I have less value?
In a final portion, Netanyahu emphasizes that his administration is making every effort to release the inmates and return them to their families. The phrase "Time is running out..." appears at the conclusion along with a picture of an hourglass.
