The Spokesman for the Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, announced that new instructions were issued to the fighters tasked with guarding the prisoners regarding how to deal with them if the Israeli army approaches their place of detention after the Nuseirat incident. In tweets he posted on his Telegram page, Abu Obeida said: "Netanyahu and the occupation army alone bear full responsibility for the killing of the prisoners after they deliberately disrupted any prisoner exchange deal for narrow interests, in addition to their deliberate killing of dozens of them through direct air strikes." He added: "We tell everyone clearly that after the Nuseirat incident, new instructions were issued to the mujahideen tasked with guarding the prisoners regarding how to deal with them if the occupation army approaches their place of detention." Abu Obeida added: "Netanyahu's insistence on releasing the prisoners through military pressure instead of concluding a deal will mean that they will return to their families in coffins, and their families will have to choose between dead or alive.
