Israeli Captive Attempted Suicide in Gaza – Resistance Medical Team Saved Him palestinechronicle.com

An Israeli captive held in Gaza has tried to commit suicide, the spokesperson for the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, has announced.

In a video message, Abu Hamza said that the movement’s medical team succeeded in saving the captive’s life after he attempted suicide three days ago.

This was “due to his psychological state” after the Benjamin Netanyahu government imposed new conditions that led to the failure and delay of negotiations for his release, Abu Hamza added.

The captive who attempted suicide was scheduled to be released as part of the group of prisoners who met the conditions and standards of the first stage of the exchange deal with Israel, he noted.

As a result of this incident, the movement has decided to tighten security and safety procedures for the captives.
