Hamas Responds to video released by Israel relevant to Nahal OZ base on October 7th

The official of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has released a press statement in response to the video released by Israel relevant to Nahal OZ base on October 7th. 

Nigeria News 247 gathered that Hamas considered such video clip being circulated in the Hebrew media as a manipulated and partial clip, and its authenticity cannot be confirmed.

The full press release reads:

“In light of the Zionist occupation’s release of a video clip about the capture of female soldiers during the events of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle on October 7th, we affirm the following:

1. The video clip being circulated in the Hebrew media is a manipulated and partial clip, and its authenticity cannot be confirmed.
2. The circulation of this clip at this time comes as part of the occupation’s failed attempts to tarnish the image of our valiant resistance by spreading fabricated narratives that have been proven false by multiple forums and media investigations.
3. The scenes show images of female soldiers at a military site who were captured while working in the Gaza Division command. They appear in civilian clothing because they were on break, especially since the attack occurred early on the morning of Saturday, October 7th, which is their day off.
4. There is deliberate cutting and editing in the footage, with selective images and clips chosen to support the occupation’s claims and lies about assaults on the female soldiers.
5. The clips show deliberate distortions and manipulations in the English translation, fabricating words in the English subtitles that were not spoken by any of the fighters appearing in the video, whether in Arabic or English. This falsification and manipulation in translation prove the falsehood of the Zionist narrative from the outset.
6. The presence of minor bloodstains or slight injuries on some of the female soldiers is expected in such operations, which can involve jostling. The scenes did not show any physical assault on any of them but rather depicted dialogue between the fighters and the female soldiers without any assault or abuse.
7. The female soldiers were treated according to the ethical standards of our resistance, and there has been no evidence of mistreatment towards the female soldiers in this unit, despite their involvement in harming our people and causing the deaths of hundreds of peaceful protesters on the Gaza borders.
8. All the images and scenes from the recent exchange operation confirmed the good treatment they received under the resistance in Gaza, in contrast to what our prisoners face in the occupation’s prisons, where they endure oppression, abuse, and killing.”
