TEHRAN, Oct. 22 (MNA) – Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas has said that it planned to release two more prisoners on "humanitarian grounds," but the Israeli side declined the offer.

"Last night we notified the Qatari brothers that we will release Nurit Ishak and Yohevid Efshitz on humanitarian grounds, without any conditions. However, the occupation government rejected this proposal," Sputnik reported citing the movement's statement on Saturday.

On Friday evening, the Israeli regime confirmed the release of two US citizens from captivity in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas says it took about 200 prisoners during its Oct. 7 Al-Aqsa Storm operation carried out from the Gaza Strip on the Israeli regime military armed settlers in the occupied lands.
