Hamas Warns Leader Prisoner Hassan Salameh in Grave Danger, Urges Escalation of Efforts to Back Detainees in Israeli Prisons

Hamas leader Abdul Rahman Shdeed said that the severe injury suffered by leader prisoner Hassan Salameh, who was hit by nine bullets on the same day that far-right Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stormed his cell, is a criminal and cowardly act of terrorism that exposes the danger Salameh faces and Israel’s intent to liquidate him by all means.

On Monday, Shdeed warned against the escalation of targeting Salameh, morally and physically, stressing that the occupation’s brutality and criminality will not diminish his resolve, his dignity or his will, which will not break despite all the assaults, abuse and torture.

He held the criminal Zionist occupation fully responsible for the life of prisoner Hassan Salameh and all our steadfast prisoners, demanding that UN, rights, humanitarian and medical bodies intervene urgently, guarantee the necessary treatment for him and all prisoners, and hold the occupation accountable for its blatant violations of all international covenants and laws.

Shdeed urged the masses of our Palestinian people and institutions concerned with prisoners’ rights to activate and intensify all means of supporting prisoners inside the occupation’s prisons and to spare no effort to back them, since the prisoners’ cause is a trust on the neck of our people and our resistance until their chains are broken and they attain their freedom.
