"Al-Qassam Brigades" announced its intention to release a video within hours containing the last messages from the six hostages before their death in one of the tunnels in Gaza.

"Al-Qassam Brigades," the military wing of the "Hamas" movement, published excerpts from the hostages' messages today, Monday, awaiting the release of the full video.

Earlier, the Israeli Health Ministry reported that the six prisoners whose bodies were found in Rafah were killed by several bullets from close range last Thursday or early Friday.

The Israeli army announced on Saturday that it had found unidentified bodies in Gaza, noting that they were recovered and transferred to Israel for identification. It later stated that they belonged to six hostages who were with "Hamas," including a Russian and an American, while the rest were Israelis.

For its part, "Hamas" held Tel Aviv and U.S. President Joe Biden responsible for the killing of the hostages amid the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip and the evasion of reaching a ceasefire agreement.
