Hamas has indicated it is currently unable to identify and track down 40 Israeli hostages needed for the first phase of a ceasefire deal, according to an Israeli official and a source familiar with the discussions, raising fears that more hostages may be dead than are publicly known.
Unless it wasn’t Hamas who killed them.
The IDF didn’t put a magical force field around the hostages as they bombed the shit out of Gaza.
The IDF has already admitted to “mistakenly” killing hostages that had been released- https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/16/israeli-hostages-mistakenly-killed-in-gaza-were-had-a-white-flag-official
And those were the ones they were caught killing or even were aware themselves that were killed. How many more were killed?
Yeah, I’m not ruling out Israel unknowingly killing their own (or even knowingly I guess) but I think regardless if an explanation (that’s true) by either was possible, it’d be better.
