Bos GAZA (Worthy News) – Palestinian militant group Hamas, designated as a terrorist organization by most Western countries, said Saturday that nine of the hostages it is holding have been killed in the past 24 hours in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip. Hamas said four of those killed were foreign nationals. It claimed their deaths resulted from Israeli bombardment of areas where the hostages were being held. Hamas, which has been showing babies and toddlers among hostages in recent videos, had earlier reported 13 hostage deaths, also blaming the Israeli bombardment. The Israel Defense Force (IDF) said earlier on Saturday that over 120 hostages were being held by Hamas in Gaza and accused the group of using them and innocent Palestinians as human shields. The IDF has intensified strikes on the besieged strip since the terror attacks that killed more than 1,300 people in Israel. They are viewed by Israel’s government as the deadliest massacres since the Holocaust, also known as the Shoah. View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they are placing these prisoners in structures they suspect Israel will bomb, allowing them to keep their word and blame Israel?

I would be shocked if any come back alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamas makes claims and expects people to believe them because they made them, Israel makes claims and backs them up with real evidence that can be examined. Which side should you believe?
