Spokesperson Abu Hamza revealed on Telegram that "some enemy prisoners have attempted suicide as a result of the extreme frustration they are feeling due to their government’s neglect of their cause."

The decision to toughen the treatment of “Israeli” captives, according to Abu Hamza, was in response to what he referred to as Israel's longstanding mistreatment of Palestinian prisoners.

"We will keep treating Israeli hostages the same way Israel treats our prisoners," Abu Hamza affirmed, citing Israel's policies of torture and other unjust actions against Palestinian detainees.
