New photo of Israeli captives in Gaza released by QB

Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, has published a new picture showing four Israeli captive soldiers in the Gaza Strip.

The photo contains a message to the Israeli occupation state saying in Arabic and Hebrew “Your soldiers are still in Gaza.”

The soldiers in the photo are Shaul Oron, Hadar Goldin, Avraham Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed.

Al-Qassam Brigades released the photo on the eighth anniversary of the 2011 prisoner swap deal known locally as “Wafa al-Ahrar.” The deal led to the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for one Israeli soldier called Gilad Shalit.
