Hamas promises info on KIA soldiers, if Israel frees terrorists
Hostages serve multiple purposes for jihadis, all of them evil...
[IsraelTimes]
It is not clear if Hamas was genuinely trying to have Shaul’s family believe he was still alive, or if the letter was simply a sadistic ploy; in either case, it is likely that it was meant to spur greater willingness on Israel’s part to negotiate.
The Paleostinian terrorist Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, organization told The Times of Israel on Sunday evening that it is willing to reveal information about two IDF soldiers, whose bodies it is believed to be holding, if Israel releases some of its operatives currently being held in prison.

Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul fell during last summer's 50-day military campaign, Operation Protective Edge, against Hamas in Gazoo. Neither body was recovered and Israel has classed both soldiers as "killed in action."
