Hamas Denies Israeli Claims of Plotting Soldier Abductions
A senior Hamas source has officially denied Israeli intelligence reports suggesting the organization was preparing to abduct Israeli soldiers. The source, speaking to Al-Araby channel, stated that Hamas is not planning any such actions.
Instead, the Hamas official accused "the occupation" of preparing for an attack that would target civilian and governmental infrastructure within the Gaza Strip. The source did not provide specific details or evidence for this claim.
Hamas also called for the expedited establishment of a "fact-finding committee" that was previously agreed upon, aiming to reduce the justifications used by Israel. The organization reiterated its commitment to the existing ceasefire agreement and urged mediators to exert pressure on Israel.
The statement comes in response to information reportedly received by the Israeli Defense Minister regarding a potential plot to kidnap soldiers. Hamas's denial serves to counter these allegations and shift blame towards Israel.
