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.

    Execution has a kill rate of 100%.

    Even if paroling is stupidly risky, the ods of death are still <100%.

    It would also be seen positively by everyone and one propaganda piece less for Israel to use.

    Let’s argue with reason and not pretend that because it has happened before it will happen every single time. Cock-ups happen everywhere.

      They did what you suggested with those specific hostages. It was not seen positively by everyone.

      They also did it with other hostages that the IDF didn’t kill. It was not seen positively by everyone.

      So you’re right, let’s argue with reason. We can reason that what you’re suggesting doesn’t work based on what they’ve already done.

        My friend, you are literally arguing that executing hostages is the same as attempting to release them under extremely risky conditions because it has failed in the past.

        If that is truly your opinion, then I honestly have no more to say. I can’t reasonably argue with that type of opinion.

        I still wish you a great day though and hope the fighting ends soon.

          No, I am literally arguing that this claim of yours has already been tried and failed:

          It would also be seen positively by everyone and one propaganda piece less for Israel to use.

          And the reason I am arguing it is that it has already been tried and failed.

            Yeah no mate, you don’t get to hide behind the argument that because it doesn’t have a 100% success rate, we might as well execute them. Murder is always unnacceptable
