"Israel' quit talks to prolong war, says Hamas official
Hamas senior official Khalil Al-Hayya accused the Israeli Occupation of deliberately withdrawing from ceasefire negotiations to prolong the war on Gaza and press forward with a plan to displace Palestinians forcibly. In a televised speech on Sunday, Al-Hayya said the suffering of people in Gaza had reached indescribable levels and that their sacrifices would not be in vain. He described Gaza's civilian population as enduring burdens beyond what nations or mountains could bear. Al-Hayya praised the armed resistance, particularly the Qassam Brigades, Quds Brigades, and other factions, claiming they had successfully disrupted the Israeli military's 'Gideon Chariots' operation. He emphasized that for the past 22 months, the resistance leadership had used every available tool and relationship to halt the Israeli aggression on Gaza. During that time, Hamas participated in difficult negotiations and demonstrated what he described as maximum flexibility, without compromising core Palestinian principles. According to Al-Hayya, Hamas had responded positively to all proposals put forth by mediators in the most recent round of talks and had reached broad agreement on many of the items. However, he said the group was taken by surprise when both the Israeli delegation and US envoy Steve Wietkoff abruptly withdrew from the talks, calling it a 'blatant move' intended to sabotage negotiations and continue the war. He rejected what he described as 'the occupation's negotiation games,' insisting that the Palestinian people should not be made victims of political manipulation. Al-Hayya described the Israeli withdrawal as part of a broader strategy to waste time while enabling further genocide in Gaza. He said that even as the talks collapsed, the Israeli side criticized the agreed framework on aid distribution in an effort to sideline the role of the UN and local institutions. He also warned of a wider "Israeli" plan to displace Palestinians en masse, pointing to efforts to retain control over aid mechanisms that have already resulted in deaths, and the occupation's insistence on carving out a large section of Rafah to establish a buffer zone for the displaced. Al-Hayya said this move paves the way for forced expulsion, either through Egypt or the sea, as part of what he called a clear attempt to eliminate the Palestinian cause.

We lost contact with unit guarding 'Israeli' captive Rom Braslavski: Quds Brigades
The military spokesperson for Quds Brigades, Abu Hamza, announced on Tuesday that contact was lost yesterday with the security unit responsible for guarding the 'Israeli' soldier Rom Braslavski, who has been held captive in Gaza. According to the statement, the unit went out of communication following an 'Israeli' incursion and the encirclement of areas where the captive and the unit were believed to be present. "We do not know their fate at this time," Abu Hamza said. He further accused 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his "extremist right-wing government" of deliberately ignoring the issue of Israeli captives since the beginning of what he described as a "genocidal war" against the Palestinian people. "The enemy's leadership is making every effort to kill its own captives and return them to their families in coffins," the spokesperson stated.

Palestinian fighters carry out second ambush of Israeli soldiers this week
The Quds Brigades, working alongside the Qassam Brigades, said on Friday that they ambushed a group of Israeli soldiers using heavy mortar shells near the Halima Mosque, south of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. The Quds Brigades is the military wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). Qassam is the military wing of Hamas. There is no known casualty figure, and the Israeli military has not so far confirmed any losses. This appears to be the second major ambush in a week. A previous attack on two Israeli armoured vehicles killed seven soldiers and wounded some 15 others in Khan Younis. The attack was filmed and shared online by the Qassam Brigades.
