Hamas said a threatening video released by far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben Gvir targeting imprisoned commander Hassan Salamah will not break the resolve of captives or the resistance movement, the Shehab Wire reported. The video constitutes a warning of coming killings, Hamas said, but vowed the threats will not weaken Salamah's determination or that of other prisoners.
The statement marked Hamas's response to what it characterized as a provocative display by Ben Gvir, a member of the Israeli government whose rhetoric toward Palestinian captives has drawn repeated condemnation from Palestinian factions.
