Hamas spokesperson announces the upcoming release of foreign captives and clashes with the Israeli army, resulting in casualties and vehicle destruction. The group also reveals the use of an underwater missile for the first time.
CAIRO - Hamas has told mediators it will release a number of foreign captives in the coming days, Abu Ubaida, the spokesman of the group's armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, said in a video on its Telegram account on Tuesday.He also said his group clashed with the Israeli army on three fronts and was able to"kill and injure a number of Israeli soldiers" as well as destroy 22 military vehicles.
Abu Ubaida also denied that a hostage freed by Israel had been in Hamas' hands, saying a number of captives were being held by other groups and individuals in the Gaza Strip. The statement was an apparent reference to Ori Megidish, an Israeli soldier that the military said on Monday was freed in the Gaza Strip during a ground operation.
