In a 65-foot-deep tunnel in Rafah, hostages found executed by captors

These people might have been alive if we had a ceasefire. But no, Netanyahu's political career is more important.

So says the IDF, anyway. I'll believe it when someone independent confirms it.

says army spokesperson Hagari

99% chance that it's either a complete fabrication or a distortion of the truth when an IDF spokesperson is the ONLY source. Let's see if anyone even remotely reliable confirms the story.

What a terrible article. What is the source or evidence the hostages were executed? People are saying it’s a claim by the IDF but it’s not even attributed to them. From reading the article I have no idea who is making this claim or how it is supported. That’s not how journalism works.

So much angst about unreliable sources here, but we’re letting this fly?

Edit: Here is a better summary of the available source information. It is coming from the IDF, but they haven’t really said much other than it was obvious to them Hamas was the culprit. We’ll have to see what further information they release.

with how happy the IDF has been with killing the hostage themselves so far, I have a hard time believing it. Could it have happened? Sure. Did it? Since the IDF says it did, it's much more likely that it didn't.

"Hostages found bludgeoned to death with rubble in tunnel that was liberated by IDF bombs."

The IDF and security forces are doing everything possible to bring all hostages home as quickly as possible.

Then apparently a ceasefire isn’t “possible”. STFU, Hagari.

absolutely love how tankies in here are somehow turning this around to be Israels fault

The hostages seem like the only bargaining chip they have (not that it's much of a bargaining chip), so I'm surprised they're doing it. Maybe they've decided that it isn't worth it.

When the IDF rescued the only 4 hostages they did, they killed 300+ mostly women and kids including some more of their own hostages.

So that's why probably it was a no brainer for Hamas to indeed just execute them as soon as they figured they would be found, to save the lives of hundrends of innocents

Sickening...
