The Hamas Movement said at dawn Thursday that the Israeli occupation army refused to receive 10 of its detained citizens, including bodies of three who were killed by an Israeli airstrike, in exchange for extending the humanitarian truce today.
“The occupation refused today to receive seven detained women and children and bodies of three people of the same category of detainees, who were killed as a result of the heavy Israeli bombardment against Gaza, in exchange for extending the temporary humanitarian truce on Thursday as per the same requirements that had been met during the previous six days,” Hamas stated in a brief press release.
In a related context, al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said it asked its fighters to be on high alert for a return to fighting if the truce was not renewed Thursday.
