Islamic Jihad announces release of Zionist women, children

TEHRAN, Nov. 29 (MNA) – The Palestinian Islamic Jihad group issued a statement late Tuesday confirming the release of Zionist women and children it had been holding in the Gaza Strip.

The Deputy Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement, Muhammad al-Hindi, confirmed that the Al-Quds Brigades, handed over the civilian prisioners.

"We can accept the all-for-all equation regarding the detainees. If Israeli regime is ready to release all our prisoners, then we are ready," Al-Hindi said in an interview with Al Jazeera.

"The enemy's choices are difficult regarding the hostages because it failed to recover them militarily. Zionists tone of preparing for war is to influence the course of the negotiations," he said.

"The performance of the Resistance and the steadfastness of our people is what will decide the fate of the battle," he said, pointing out that "Israeli regime may be forced to end the aggression in light of the increasing losses."

Qatar announced an agreement late Monday to extend an initial four-day humanitarian pause in fighting between Israeli regime and Hamas for an additional two days, under which further prisoner exchanges will be carried out.

Israeli regime launched a massive military campaign in the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7 after the Hamas movement launched a successful assault on the occu[pied territories, killing more than 1,200 Zionist regime soldiers and settlers and take more than 200 as prisoners to the Gaza Strip. 

It has since killed over 15,000 people, including 6,150 children and 4,000 women, according to health authorities in the enclave.
