In what comes as a shocking development, a video of an alleged captured Hamas terrorist is making rounds on social media, where he revealed how Palestinian children are used to transfer explosives within Gaza.
The video also revealed that the children were given explosives in a plastic bag and were made to place them at certain houses and come back. One can only guess how many died in the process. It can be seen that using children as soldiers is a war crime.
Meanwhile, Friday marked another day of intense clashes between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, with little progress made in ceasefire negotiations. Despite Hamas's push for a permanent cessation of hostilities, Israel dismissed these demands, standing firm on its stance.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had reiterated that the conflict would persist until Hamas was entirely dismantled and hostages were safely released. He made it clear that Hamas had a choice: either surrender or face the consequences, emphasizing that they were left with no other options.
A senior official had said that Israel was ready to discuss the next stages for the release of hostages held by Hamas. Earlier, Hamas had released as many as 105 hostages and Israel freed 240 Palestinian prisoners during a week-long ceasefire.
