In a statement on their Telegram channel, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) has said Israeli soldiers will not be released until “all our prisoners are liberated from enemy prisons,” Al Jazeera reports.
In addition to Hamas, the PIJ has also been holding captives since October 7.
“We emphasise our continued confrontation of aggression, at all field and political levels, in order to thwart all the goals of this aggression,” the statement added.
