Hamas threatens kidnap of Israeli soldiers
 Fathi Hammad, one of the Hamas Movement leaders in the Gaza Strip, Friday threatened that the Movement would kidnap Israeli soldiers in the event the occupation authorities didn't free all Palestinian inmates especially those with higher prison terms during the calming down currently observed with the Zionist regime. Speaking at a massive rally staged Friday afternoon in solidarity with the Palestinian prisoners, Hammad addressed occupation soldiers saying, "We warn you that if your government didn't release all Palestinian captives during the calming down, you would be subject to abduction at any moment."The Qassam Brigades, military wing of Hamas, were planning to take Israeli soldiers hostages to force the Israeli government set free all Palestinian internees, he elaborated maintaining that the question of Palestinian prisoners in occupation jails remained the Movement's topmost priority. The Hamas' leader pledged that the Movement would strenuously work toward releasing all Palestinian prisoners languishing in Israeli jails. The Palestinian masses reasserted their solidarity with the Palestinian captives, and vowed they would fully support resistance against the Israeli occupation troops in case the Zionist regime didn't free all those captives.
