The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, on Thursday released a video featuring the detained military commander of the Southern Brigade in the Gaza Division, Assaf Hamami.

The Al-Qassam Brigades announced that Asaf Hamami, the commander of the Southern Brigade in the Gaza Division, was captured on October 7.

They noted that Hamami sustained injuries during his capture. In the video, he delivered a message to "Israelis", stating that their "leadership abandons its military commanders in captivity," directly criticizing the Netanyahu government and its handling of the detainees' issue.
