Palestine

The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas, issued a tribute on Tuesday to the Shadow Unit, following the handover of Israeli soldiers who had been held captive by the resistance.

In a statement published on Telegram, the Qassam Brigades wrote: “A fitting tribute to the unknown soldiers of the Shadow Unit,” describing the group as responsible for protecting and concealing the prisoners held by the resistance, despite Israel’s persistent attempts to uncover their fate.

The Brigades added that the tribute was “for those who safeguarded the enemy’s prisoners throughout two years of the Al-Aqsa Intifada under the most difficult conditions, giving their effort and blood until the resistance’s promise of freedom for our prisoners was fulfilled.”
