Hamas to Netanyahu: Check your soldiers well

Hamas Movement called on Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu “to closely check his soldiers and to stop misleading the families of missing soldiers.”

Aqsa TV Channel on Monday evening quoted a responsible source in Hamas Movement as saying that Netanyahu should closely check his soldiers and stop misleading the families of missing soldiers.

In a preliminary analysis of Hamas’s letter to Netanyahu, Israeli media outlets said that the letter aims to influence the Israeli public opinion regarding the issue of the missing soldiers.

The letter is a part of Hamas’s psychological warfare against Israel, Israeli analysts said.

Hamas works at exerting more pressures on the Israeli government to meet the group’s demands related to the expected prisoner swap deal, according to the media reports.

During Israel's genocidal war on Gaza in summer, Hamas' sarmed wing, the Qassam Brigades, announced that they had captured the Israeli soldier Oron Shaul on July 20, east of Gaza City.

Few days later, Israel accused Hamas of holding the body of Lt. Hadar Goldin, who was killed in clashes east of Rafah on August 1, while some said he had been kidnapped. Hamas has neither confirmed nor denied the claim.
