A senior Hamas official in the Gaza Strip called on Thursday for the abduction of Israelis, who would be swapped for Palestinians held by Israel.
"We tell the Zionist enemy: you are all a target for us and the resistance, we will fight you until we finally get rid of you and take as many captives as possible to free our heroes," said Khalil al-Haya, whose movement de facto rules the Palestinian enclave.
"Our men, our women, our children all envision kidnapping your soldiers and settlers, wherever they are," he said on the eve of Prisoners Day which Palestinians mark April 17.
"And it is our right because we have no other way to free our heroes, and it is the Zionist enemy responsible for this state of affairs," Haya told hundreds of Palestinians.
Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip rally each year on April 17 in solidarity with the nearly 6,000 prisoners held by Israeli.
Haya said Palestinian prisoners should "rest assured" because militant groups led by Hamas's military wing al-Qassam Brigades "will release you as they did your brothers" in 2011.
Ahmed al-Mudalal of the militant Islamic Jihad movement promised told the rally that "the resistance will not falter until Israeli prisons are emptied of their Palestinian prisoners."

A human rights group has called on the Palestinian institutions to patronize the rights of the Palestinian prisoners, especially those with medical conditions, and ensure their access to appropriate medical treatment.
This came during a sit-in staged by Palestinian factions on Thursday in the northern West Bank city of Tubas to mark the Palestinian Prisoner’s Day, annually observed on April 17.
Head of the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society in Tubas, Mahmoud Sawafta, said the Palestinians should make use of their recent membership in the International Criminal Court to step up pressure on the Israeli occupation and force it to abide by all international laws and treaties, particularly the ones related to the prisoners’ cause.
The prisoners’ cause is a national issue that has to be backed by the government and the community alike, he said, recalling ex-detainee Mohamed al-Taj who had been exposed to medical neglect inside Israeli jails.
Sawafta further called for working on ending the suffering endured by the 23-year-old ex-prisoner Imad al-Masri, who had spent a total of 23 years in Israeli jails and was exiled to Gaza in the Wafa al-Ahrar prisoner swap deal.

Senior PLO official Hanan Ashrawi on Friday marked Palestinian Prisoner's Day by demanding that Israel end its "captivity" of the Palestinian people under occupation.
"Today, we honor and express our solidarity with all Palestinians who have been and continue to be imprisoned in Israeli jails," she said in a statement.
"We commend their steadfastness, courage and determination in defiance of Israel's military occupation and system of enslavement and apartheid."
Since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza, over 800,000 Palestinians have been detained by Israel's military, while over 60 Palestinians have died in Israeli jails, the PLO says.
Over 70 percent of Palestinian families have had at least one relative detained at some point, according to the UN.
Fourteen Palestinian MPs and 20 journalists are currently imprisoned by Israel, with over 450 Palestinians held without trial for indeterminate periods under administrative detention.
"We call on all members of the international community to act on the basis of justice and human rights and bring Israel to compliance for its willful breach of the rights and lives of Palestinian political prisoners," Ashrawi added.
Late Thursday, President Mahmoud Abbas marked Palestinian Prisoner's Day by saying that any future peace agreement must free all Palestinian prisoners.
During a televised speech, Abbas emphasized that continued Israeli policy regarding frequent detention of Palestinians is not conducive for creating a plausible environment for future peace.
"It is time for decision holders in Israel to realize that jails, settlement, confiscating lands and withholding holding PA tax funds will only lead to more extremism and keep us from reaching what we seek, which is a just peace based on ending occupation."
Calling on the international community to support Palestinian prisoners with legal and humanitarian protection not afforded by the Israeli government, Abbas added that Israeli violations against prisoners have been well documented by UN human rights organizations, and have been prepared to be presented at the International Criminal Court.
According to both international law and Israeli courts an individual cannot be detained for their political opinions.
Palestinian political leaders are routinely arrested and detained as part of an ongoing Israeli effort to suppress Palestinian political processes, according to prisoners' rights group Addammeer.
Events to commemorate Palestinian Prisoners' day are scheduled to be held throughout the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip as well as internationally.

On Thursday evening, just a few hours before April 17, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Day, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said the release of all political prisoners, held by Israel, is a top priority and one of the cases to be filed to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Abbas added that the 6000 Palestinian detainees must be released under any future peace agreement with Tel Aviv.
“We demanded, and we are demanding again, all governments and every international institution, to act and provide the detainees with the legal protection they need,” Abbas said, “The detainees must be released, and must enjoy their full rights.”
“The Israeli violations against the detainees are known, and are documented by all related United Nations and Human Rights institutions,’ he added, “The detainees’ case, without a doubt, will be one of the files submitted to the ICC.”
He also said the Israel must realize that its violations, prisons, its settlements, its illegal annexation of Lands, crimes and withholding Palestinian tax money, will just lead to more tension, and will distance the region further away from a just and comprehensive peace.
Abbas stated that peace is based on ending the Israeli occupation, Israel’s withdrawal from all of the territories it captured in 1967, including Jerusalem, and the establishment of a sovereign and independent Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital.
He also said that the Right of Return of the Palestinian refugees, as stated by UN General Assembly resolution #194 and the Arab Peace Initiative, is a legitimate right that cannot be abandoned, or ignored.
“We are still extending our hands for peace, real peace between neighbors,” Abbas added, “A peace based on sovereignty, stability and justice.”
The Palestinian president also stressed that the suffering of the refugees in Syria, especially in the Yarmouk refugee camp, is of a serious concern to the Palestinians, and that the Palestinian leadership has constantly demanded to keep the refugees out of internal conflicts.
“We strongly condemn groups and parties responsible for dragging the refugees into this conflict,” Abbas added, “We demand them all to leave the refugee camps, to stop attacking and killing them; the refugees are temporary guests who must be able to return to Palestine.”

Khaled Sheikh After His Release - Still Image From Palestine TV Video
The Israeli Authorities released on Thursday at night child detainee, Khaled Sheikh, 14, from Beit ‘Anan in occupied Jerusalem, while his family and scores of residents waited, and welcomed him. Israeli soldiers earlier stormed the Betunia nearby town, and kidnapped two children.
The released child, who suffers from anemia and other health issues, said that he did not receive any medications related to his illness, and that the only meds he received were painkilling pills.
“They give the ailing detainees those pills to silence them, and reduce the symptoms instead of providing us with the medical treatment we urgently need,” he said.
The child’ mother told Palestine TV that she is very happy for his release after the four months he spent in ‘Ofer Israeli prison, facing constant violations and difficult living conditions.
“Am so happy he will fill our house with his presence and pleasant spirit” the mother said, “My wish is for all detained children, and every imprisoned Palestinian, to be released and return to their families.
His family was never allowed to visit him, and were granted a permit dated after his scheduled release.
