Showing Original Post only (View all)Hamas claims seven hostages killed in captivity in Gaza [View all]
Hamas named three of the hostages that had been allegedly killed as Chaim Gershon Peri, 79, Yoram Itak Metzger, 80, and Amiram Israel Cooper, 85. The terrorist group said a later announcement would contain the names of the remaining four.
All three men were kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7.
The information provided by Hamas is unconfirmed, and Hamas has previously shared false information on the well-being of hostages as part of its use of psychological warfare. Hamas has previously named a hostage as killed only to later release them, as was the case of Hannah Katzir.
Hamas's latest statement on the seven hostages
We have previously announced that our contact has been cut off with our mujahideen who are guarding a number of enemy prisoners, Hamas announced on their Telegram, and that we believe that a number of the prisoners have been killed as a result of the Zionist bombing.
After examination and scrutiny during recent weeks, we have confirmed the martyrdom of a number of our mujahideen and the killing of seven enemy prisoners in the Gaza Strip as a result of the Zionist bombing.

They are killing the hostages. And in return, they demand cease fire.
Why are people OK with this?

No, the Hamas members were most likely out planting some flowers in their garden?
