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.

      I trust journalists that have proven themselves reliable, even as that puts them directly in the crosshairs of the genocidal apartheid regime.

      somehow still think you’re enlightened

      Never claimed any such thing. Please stow your strawman.

      Both have proven track record of genocidal tendencies. Both are proven terrorists even if only one of them is a designated terrorist organisation.

      So taking any statement made by any of them unverified with a boat load of salt is not only prudent it is necessary.
