Hamas announced that the next host launch scheduled on Saturday will be postponed “until again notice”, accusing Israel to break the Gaza Fire's Fire Agreement.
Israel described the postponement as a “complete violation of the high fire” and asked the Israeli army to prepare for “any possible scenario” in Gaza.
In a publication on X, Abu Obeida, spokesman for the Qassam Brigades, Hamas' Navy wing, said the delivery of the prisoners “who were scheduled to be released next Saturday … will be postponed to the notice and until The occupation is committed and compensates for the rights of the last weeks retroactively. “
“In the last three weeks, resistance leadership has monitored the rapes of the enemy and its breach of the terms of the agreement.
“These violations include delaying the return of people displaced to northern Gaza, attacking them with bombing and shots in several areas of the strip, and not allowing humanitarian aid entry in all their agreed forms.
“Meanwhile, resistance has completely honored its commitments.
“Consequently, the release of Zionist prisoners, who was scheduled for Saturday, February 15, 2025 will be postponed to an additional warning, waiting for the fulfillment of the enemy and retroactive compliance with the obligations of recent weeks.
“We reaffirm our commitment to the terms of the agreement as long as the occupation adheres to them.” Obeida said several alleged violations of the agreement by Israel in the last three weeks, including “delaying the return of the displaced to the strip of northern Gaza, attacking them with bombardments and shots in several areas of the strip, and not allowing the entry of Relief of relief supplies in all its forms according to what was agreed. ”
Israel responded to Hamas' decision to suspend hostages. A statement by the Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, says: “Hamas' announcement to stop freeing Israeli hostages is a complete violation of the high fire agreement and the agreement to free hostages.
“I have ordered the IDF to prepare at the highest alert level for any possible scenario in Gaza and protect the communities.
“We will not allow a return to the reality of October 7.”
