TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Shahab, the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, stated on the occasion of the start of the exchange of Palestinian prisoners with the Zionist regime prisoners, stating that the agreement reached is the fruit of the steadfastness of the Palestinian nation and the steadfastness of its fighters, and we declare our commitment to the agreement reached and the timetables related to it, as long as the occupiers adhere to it.

According to this statement, the resistance has always been eager to stop the genocidal war and has been working for it since the first months, but the Zionists have previously thwarted all efforts due to their narrow-minded calculations and to satisfy their Nazi instinct of barbarity and revenge.

The Al-Qassam Brigades added that the enemy, despite its superior intelligence and military power, failed to return its prisoners through military pressure and has now surrendered and, as the resistance had promised from the beginning, will return its prisoners through an exchange deal.

The statement added that the occupiers could have returned most of their prisoners alive months ago, but they continued to procrastinate and stubbornly preferred to have the Israeli army kill dozens of them as a result of their failed policy of military pressure.

The Al-Qassam Brigades addressed the freed Palestinian prisoners, saying that Gaza and its resistance sacrificed their most precious asset and worked with all their might to break people's chains. They pledge that the Palestinian issue will remain at the top of the national priorities until all prisoners achieve their freedom.
