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.

    Is Hamas even that disciplined to act as a unified front? Management or soldiers on the site could’ve decided themselves to take a revenge on hostages. Especially if they knew they are cornered and there were no use of keeping them alive if they are deadmen too.

      Based on accounts from hostages who have been freed, Hamas is at least more disciplined than the IDF

        Ha. If Hamas had IDF weapons and tactics, they would use it to eradicate every Jew in the middle east. They don’t have such weapons because they aren’t disciplined at all. They are so undisciplined, they can’t plan for their own futures unless it involves killing Jews. That’s why there is no investment in the future of Gaza or its people except for terror tunnels, rockets, and rocket launchers, oh and mass shootings.

        Such discipline from Hamas that Gaza can’t be trusted with a runway, let alone aircrafts and parts, or other nice things that normal countries get to have when they don’t keep putting terrorists in charge.

          Funding is not disclipine. I believe your head is in your ass. I’m willing to help with that, even though I’m against genocide and the more than half century occupation and Israel’s current g̶o̶v̶e̶r̶n̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ terrorist regime.

              I guess only the UN. Your daddy Netanyahu is a terrorist and you are a shameful person for supporting him.

              How dare you support genocide you disgrace of the Israeli people.
