The Hamas terrorist group issued a statement this Monday threatening to execute the hostages captured during its attacks this weekend in Israel. Abu Obeida, the spokesman for the armed wing of Hamas known as the al Qassam Brigades, threatened to kill off the people who were captured if Israeli forces do not cease their air attacks on Gaza.
In a statement reported by Reuters, the terrorists claimed that they will broadcast the executions online. They're asking Israel to cease its air strikes and return to the "knock the roof" method which involves warning civilians before bombing a building.
"We declare that we will respond to any targeting of our people who are safe in their homes without warning, with the execution of our civilian hostages, and we will broadcast it with audio and video," said the spokesman for the Islamic terrorists.
This Monday, official Israeli sources informed Parliament that the airstrikes since this Sunday no longer used the "knock on the roof" method to warn the civilian population in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog issued a statement to the international community declaring that all responsibility for what could happen to the civilian hostages falls on Hamas and the terrorists.
