Senior Hamas figure Musa Abu Marzouq claimed in an interview with the Egyptian channel Al-Rad on Sunday evening that "Hamas has more than a hundred Israeli prisoners" following the terrorist attack. Earlier, an Islamic Jihad spokesman claimed that the group was holding 30 prisoners.
Abu Marzouq said that the al-Zadeen al-Qassem Brigades, Hamas' military-terrorist wing, had taken over a site near the Gaza Strip. During the interview, a senior Hamas figure said that the objective of the terrorist attack was "to defend Al-Aqsa and stop the temporary and spatial division of the compound." He noted that "it is too early to talk about negotiations to stop the fighting in light of Israel's continued aggression. We call on everyone to stand by us in this campaign, and I think many will participate in this campaign."
