File under: Hamas

#1 That brings us to David Bernstein, who posted on Twitter/X on Monday, "Unfortunately, I think a subtext for what's been going on is that Israel has concluded that a large % of the hostages are dead, either murdered on 10/7 or thereafter." Going further, Bernstein looked at the recent fighting at Sifah and concluded that the IDF raid was meant to gather "intelligence on who remains alive and where they might be, before any Rafah incursion and any further hostage negotiations. Which is why Israel took pains to capture the bully boyz instead of kill them."

A likely assessment.

#2 As posted in another comment.

After nearly 6 months, I am sad to say I have my doubts that many of the hostages are still alive and/or uninjured.

For HAMAS to prove otherwise, it should be required to have the hostages pictures taken holding an Israeli Newspaper with a current date and Headline on it.

Because I wouldn't trust any US MSM, nor a lot of other nations Media given their openly Anti-Semitic positions of late.

#4 Yeah, quite a few are dead already, but, and this is my speculation, I think the IDF found that some of the hostages that survived are being held by "ordinary" palestinians that swept into Israel after hamas on 10-7 taking the opportunity to capture a few slaves to do with them as they pleased.
