  1. They have been spanked pretty hard, I’m not terribly surprised they don’t know where all of the dead are.

  2. Well yeah, at least some of them are under an exploded building, a flooded tunnel, or just lost in the chaos.

    I’m sure the Israeli government is aware of that. If they drop the deal, it won’t be because of that. It’ll be because of the prisoner swap, or other conditions.

  3. I find it amazing that nowhere in the article does it note that these dead hostages were killed by Israel in bombing attacks and since everyone in the building, school, hospital, civilians house or wherever they were is also dead, No one knows which body parts belong to who.

  4. That’s devastating. It highlights how brutal and chaotic the situation is on the ground, and how much suffering families are enduring while waiting for answers.

  5. As far as Israel should be concerned Hamas can dig every inch of land in Gaza until it finds all the bodies

  6. Highly likely they died along and are buried among the rubble with those 70,000 gazans

    Israel did the war equivalent of burning down the house after finding a wasp nest

  7. Wonder how many Palestinians are buried in the rubble probably thousands that haven’t been counted as the dead yet. Maybe if Israel didn’t drop multiple nukes worth of bombs

  8. And they (hamas) will pin it to Israel bombing the locations the hostages were and not the torture they endured… and we will sadly be back to square one.

  9. Tragic, but meanwhile what’s taking so long to return the ones who are still alive? I thought they were supposed to have something like 72 hours. Let’s start with that – especially for the two who there are grave concerns about – and worry about the deceased afterwards…?

  10. Bold of the commenters here to assume the bodies, and perhaps the living, weren’t smuggled out of Gaza.

  12. I mean! It makes sense when you bombed the shit out of every corner of Gaza. Like not only did they killed Hamas combatants, they probably killed and buried hostages in the mix. Bombs can’t just killed the people you want, it kills everyone in radius.

  13. Israel knew this was going to happen when they started leveling buildings without knowing if there were hostages inside. What was the Golda Meir quote “we can never forgive you for forcing us to kill our children?”

  14. It’s tragic but I get it. Hamas is pretty disorganised, I doubt they even knew where all the live hostages where at all times, let alone the dead ones.

    I am sure some of the hostages have been sold as slaves and has been smuggled out of Gaza also.

  15. Yeah they fucking shoot anyone who pops their head out so who’s left to carry the bodies?

  16. This war was never about saving the hostages lets be real.

  17. That sounds like Hamas’ problem….find them or surrender. Nothing is stopping them from doing the same with any of the hostages reported to be alive.

  18. I feel like leveling the whole place with bombs probably didn’t help their survival rates.

  19. Stop the ethnic cleansing man, free Palestine 🇵🇸 🙏🙏
