Hamas issued a stern warning to Israel on Sunday saying: "Neither the fascist enemy... nor its supporters can take their prisoners alive without an exchange and negotiation and meeting the resistance's demands". A spokesman for its armed wing, Abu Obeida, referred to freeing Palestinian detainees held by Israel while making the remarks in a televised address. Last week's collapsed Gaza truce saw 105 Hamas hostages freed in return for 240 prisoners. But Israel says 137 still remain captive in Gaza. Qatar trying to broker talks cautioned "narrowing window" due to relentless Israeli strikes. Vowing to continue the fight, Obeida stated: "We have no choice but to fight this barbaric occupier in every neighbourhood, street."
