Forces had no direct confrontation with Hamas terrorists who killed hostages; ‘The IDF and security forces are doing everything possible to bring all hostages home as quickly as possible. This news shakes us all,’ says army spokesperson Hagari

Israeli forces discovered the bodies of six hostages in a 65-foot-deep tunnel in Rafah, approximately a kilometer from where hostage Farhan Alkadi was recently freed. The IDF had no precise intelligence on the hostages’ location in recent months but knew there were captives in the sector, leading to a gradual and cautious operation in Rafah since the ground offensive began.

    These people might have been alive if we had a ceasefire. But no, Netanyahu’s political career is more important.

        This is honestly the first time I’ve seen anyone cast Netanyahu as the victim.

          You’re taking blame off the people who literally slaughtered these prisoners, and throwing it back at them for being born in Israel. Don’t be purposely obtuse to try and play some game.

      They could have had all the hostages back in October. Hamas just wanted back the hostages that Israel holds.

      And again, they could have had all the hostages back in May.

      Netanyahu seems committed to genocide and the hostages are collateral damage.

      It’s deranged and I am ashamed our western leaders are cheerleading this.

        Hamas didn’t just want hostages back in October, but let’s not get derailed, yes it’s true that the Israelis could have stopped the war at many occasions.

      These people might have been alive if they had never been kidnapped by palestinians.
