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.

    “Hamas could never do something like this. Kidnap and take hostages? Sure. But they would never cross this line. They are the good guys.”

    Fuck off.

        Oh, were you not insinuating that a terrorist organization could be capable of murdering hostages?

          i wasn’t insinuating anything. i openly said that a terrorist organization is capable and happy to kill the hostages.

          I also said it is possible that Hamas has done it because they’re also terrorists.

          but whenever IDF says something happened it’s more than likely it hasn’t.

            So until Hamas confirms the claims, you are just going to not trust that they did this?

                Defending the innocence of a right wing Islamic fundamentalist terrorist organization is absolutely bonkers.

        The original attack on October 7th didn’t really make sense from a strategic standpoint. Hamas hasn’t gained anything in the past 11 months, and I don’t think the hostages actually give them any leverage against the campaign of genocide the IDF is waging.
