The military and strategic expert, Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, has raised significant concerns regarding the situation of Israeli prisoners in Gaza following alarming incidents involving the Al-Qassam Brigades. The recent warning from Abu Ubaida, the spokesperson for the Brigades, indicates a potential loss of control over recruits assigned to guard Israeli prisoners. This warning comes in the wake of two critical incidents where an Israeli prisoner was killed and two female prisoners were seriously injured, heightening tensions in an already volatile environment.
Al-Duwairi's analysis suggests that the actions of the recruits were not directed by the leadership of the Al-Qassam Brigades but stemmed from individual responses to the increasing violence and crimes perpetrated by Israeli forces. He emphasized that the Israeli government bears responsibility for the consequences of its actions, which have provoked severe reactions among the Palestinian guards. The formation of a committee to investigate the incidents further underlines the seriousness with which the Al-Qassam Brigades are treating the situation.
The expert also linked these violent incidents to the recent massacre at the Al-Tabaeen School, where over 100 Palestinians were killed during dawn prayers, describing it as a horrific crime that has deeply affected the morale of Palestinian guards. He predicts that the Israeli response may escalate further violence, reflecting a historical pattern of retaliation that could lead to more massacres rather than a peaceful resolution. Al-Duwairi highlighted the cultural respect for prisoners within Islamic traditions, contrasting it with the ongoing atrocities faced by Palestinian prisoners in Israeli custody.
