The Qassam Brigades warned, "If Israeli military pressure continues, captives held in Gaza will return to Israel in coffins, not alive," emphasizing the urgency of a ceasefire.
Abu Obeida, spokesman for the Qassam Brigades, stated, "Families must choose between receiving their loved ones dead or alive," underscoring the dire implications of military actions.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said, "Hamas will pay a very heavy price for this," indicating his administration's commitment to military pressure despite the costs to captives.
In response to the situation, protests erupted in Israel, with demonstrators insisting that a ceasefire could have allowed captives to return safely instead of dead.
