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.

      The original attack on October 7th didn’t really make sense from a strategic standpoint. Hamas hasn’t gained anything in the past 11 months, and I don’t think the hostages actually give them any leverage against the campaign of genocide the IDF is waging.
