Hamas have admitted they have hostages.
They took them to secure the release of over 3000 Palestinian hostages held in Israeli prisons without any trial many for years. 500 of them children abducted by Zionists, for throwing stones at tanks or shouting, pro Palestine slogans. Children as young as five.
As for the Israelis not caring for their hostages. They have something called the Hannibal protocol, sometimes called the Hannibal directive. Developed during the Lebanon war, the objective was to heavily bombard the enemy position if a Israeli soldier was kidnapped. Either forcing to hand him over or alternatively to kill him but not allow him to remain in enemy hands. The objective was to prevent the captured soldier from divulging information during interrogation. Or being used for ransom.
Although they officially did away with the Hannibal protocol in 2016. Analysts are saying that they have revived it.
Frankly in this case they don’t care. If they get them back it’s good and if they don’t get them back it’s even greater for propaganda purposes. They will be blame Hamas and use it for purposes of eliciting sympathy.
A woman who survived the Kibbutz Yasmin Porat gave an interview. To Israeli soldiers who carried the massacre. They arrived and targeted everything that moved, using heavy weaponry and tanks.
It had been posted on social media. And can be found on Electronic Intifada website.
Monday morning saw some of the most intense and deadly Israeli bombings of Gaza since the latest conflict between Israel and armed Palestinian groups began on 7 October.
Here’s what you may have missed over the past few hours:
• So far, at least 400 Palestinians have been killed over the past 24 hours, and that number has the potential to rise as medical teams and rescue workers assess the full damage of the air strikes last night
• One Israeli air strike on the Jabalia refugee camp killed around 30 Palestinians.
• Dozens of Palestinians have been arrested across the occupied West Bank as Israeli forces launched a number of raids near Ramallah, Hebron, and Jericho
• Western leaders, including US President Joe Biden, released a statement in which they reaffirmed Israel’s right to defend itself before going on to urge for the protection of civilians
• Gaza’s hospitals are almost out of anaesthesia, in addition to fuel and other other necessary supplies

The Hamas armed wing has said it released two captives held in Gaza after Qatari and Egyptian mediation.
The International Committee of the Red Cross says it facilitated the two captives’ release and transport out of Gaza, adding that it is “ready to facilitate any future release”.
Both Israel and Hamas report overnight fighting inside the besieged Palestinian enclave.
Reports say the US has urged Israel to delay its ground offensive as EU foreign policy chief backs a pause in fighting.
At least 5,087 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza, while more than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel since October 7.
Gaza resistance fighters released two elderly Israeli women last night and handed them over to the International Committee of the Red Cross in southern Gaza.
Hamas said the two women were released on humanitarian grounds.

Israel has killed over 5,000 Palestinians in Gaza since October 7th, including 2,055 children. At least 1500 more Palestinians are missing, likely trapped under rubble from Israel’s indiscriminate bombings. Still, Israel continues to intensely bomb Gaza – killing and displacing Palestinians, destroying essential infrastructure, and turning Gaza to rubble. Israel is committing war crime after war crime, with the US’ full support. That needs to end, now.
To take action against Israel’s violent onslaught, call your representatives to demand an immediate ceasefire, organize/attend a protest, post on social media, and speak to your friends & family.
And ask yourself why these quotes, in essence with the top officials in Israel openly admitting war crimes and genocide, are not in the American media.
These are Israeli government officials openly admitting ethnic cleansing and the violation of international law.
Hamas says 140 Palestinians killed in new Israeli air strikes in northern Gaza’s al-Shati refugee camp as well as in southern cities of Rafah and Khan Younis.
France’s President Macron arrives in Tel Aviv on a visit intended to show France’s “full solidarity” with Israel.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees says Gaza hospitals may be forced to shut down by Wednesday night due to acute fuel shortages.
Israel hits Jenin refugee camp with drones; at least three killed in Israeli raid, bringing number of Palestinians killed in occupied West Bank since October 7 to more than 100.
UN chief says Hamas’s October 7 attack did not happen “in a vacuum”, with Israel demanding his resignation.
Israel's actions show they want a lot more territory, reaching from the river Nile to the river Euphrates. They're doing this by trying to stop any opposition and making life very hard for people in the West Bank and Jerusalem. They're taking land, limiting access to important things like water and electricity, and arresting many people.
But it doesn't stop there. They seem to be planning to make people from Gaza go to Egypt after a ceasefire in their conflict with Gaza. This could be part of a deal with Egypt, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. At the same time, they want people in the West Bank and Jerusalem to go to Jordan for safety. What's important to realize is that their goals for expansion seem to have no limits.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
