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.

  • And the US warned Russia of the Moscow Attack

    Does that mean that the US/Russia is responsible for the Terror attack against them?

    Please don’t talk around it. “I think that yes/no [because …]”

    Because I think that Terror Attacks are always the fault of the Terrorists killing people

    The same way I think that incidents of rape are always the fault of the rapist and never the victim.

      Terrorism is politics by other means.

      If you deny a people redress of grievances, say by refusing to participate in the international criminal court, you can’t be surprised when desperate people act out of desperation.

      One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.

      I’m not saying that it’s right, but it certainly didn’t justify the 20 years we spent playing in the desert, nor the genocide Israel is commiting on the Palestinians now.

      If you have explicit knowledge that can save peoples lives and you choose not to act on it then yes you’re directly responsible for that loss of life.
