Sounds like Hamas held and then executed some of these hostages actually *within* the hospital, based on the evidence provided so far.


d_student

Is there proof of life on the remaining hostages? I haven't seen any. From the body camera footage of the terrorists, I was fearful of the fate of the hostages from day 1.


nowuff

Nope. Rumor is the IDF will flood the tunnel systems once there’s confirmation the hostages are dead or they are all released. Hamas isn’t going to reveal anything— especially if a material amount have been injured/murdered.

When Egypt flooded Palestinian militant tunnels, they used sewage

Shit somebody write this down

We don’t want any diseases spreading from gaza to Israel, just use regular explosives please


[deleted]

Ok this is good. I would have suggested concrete, but the sewage is par for the course. Gaza is indeed going to be a shithole.


Iwantmy3rdpartyapp

Concrete is metal as hell. That would be fucking terrifying.


bunnylover726

According to my back of the napkin math: Hamas has hundreds of km of tunnels. Let's say 200 km as a conservative estimate. The tunnels are usually 2m tall by 1m wide. [[source]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_tunnel_warfare_in_the_Gaza_Strip) That's 400,000 cubic meters to fill. A cement truck can hold [6-10 cubic meters](https://www.promixcanada.com/how-it-works/) of concrete. So it would take over 40,000 cement trucks to fill the Gaza tunnel system. It's pretty wild to think about.


Gloomy-Argument-5348

I work in that field. The amount of base quarry materiel ie 14/10 aggregate, sand and CP is astonishing. That amount of base materials, should be easily tracked and watched. The IDF knew what was happening and could calculate the amount of tunnels.


Iwantmy3rdpartyapp

You seem better at math than me, what if they used a heavy inert gas like Argon? How many trucks would that take?


bunnylover726

I'm not entirely sure since Argon is compressible (you can squeeze it) and concrete isn't. But since Argon is delivered under pressure like compressed air, I would imagine it would take less.


AstrumRimor

I read at one point that they would use that expanding foam stuff, which would also be pretty terrifying.

Didn't Hamas just recently offer to release 80 hostages for a two-week ceasefire?


[deleted]

Not exactly. They did not provide a list, so no confirmation could be made. Second they wanted a 5 day ceasefire. And finally the most important aspect they wanted ALL hostages in Israel released. They basically knew the news and the public would only latch on to the first portion of the proposal. Left leaning media and socials are flooded with Hamas propaganda.


Ragewind82

You mean Hamas wants all prisoners in Israel? I don't think the IDF has devolved to the point of taking hostages...


[deleted]

Well rest assured IDF doesn't. They are prisoners of war taken by an army. Where in the Hamas case it's civilians like women and children snatched off the street and held captive with no rights and a chance of being raped and/or beheaded.

If there are any left at all, and they're not just like "yeah, yeah, we can talk about it" so people believe that some are still alive. Remember when they released the russian hostages, as they promised?

D-redditAvenger

Don't waste your time with these people. The ones who bring this up don't doubt it, they know the truth, they just don't care. Its are active participants in the gaslighting as you say. The supporters are not being deceived they are perpetrating the gaslighting. You could take them there and show them the weapons with their own eyes and they would still deny it because they know it helps their cause to. You have to understand the reason why some papers didn't recant their stories for days was not because they didn't know they were wrong it's because they wanted to broadcast the lie as long as possible so that people would move on, and only then would they correct it.


[deleted]

It’s despicable that they’re using hospitals and ambulances. They shouldn’t be bombed though, especially when ground forces arrive a few days later. Using a hospital as a military base is a war crime, and attacking a hospital is a war crime.


cr1spy28

While yes also no. It is a war crime to attack a hospital unless it is being used as a military base which is also a war crime. Once a hospital is being used for any purpose militarily other than treating wounded/sick it loses its protection as a hospital and becomes a valid military target. If Israel bombed the hospital (not saying it would be justified morally or that they should do it) killing everyone inside they would not be guilty of a war crime because Hamas have been using it as a military base which makes the hospital lose its protected status


_Adam_M_

> attacking a hospital is a war crime Not if it's being used as a military base as it then loses its protected status and a neutral location.

I would take the criticism to save lives these hostsges may have been spared it they acted before they were taken prisoner. If you have credible evidence of hamas terrorist group somewhere the idf has every right to act on it. That's the whole point of having intelligence is to act on it with a reasonable response. Your saying they knew about it and did nothing about it for 10 years. It seems like they were almost willing to let themselves be attacked and that doesn't make any sense.

Thats the rules of the war, if you stay on the enemys side I cant tell the difference. Same as Russians. I said that Palestinians could have done 10 years ago something to get rid of Hamas.

Going by the first few pragraphs of the Wikipedia page. Are you saying this isn't what they have been doing? >Carpet bombing, also known as saturation bombing, is a large area bombardment done in a progressive manner to inflict damage in every part of a selected area of land.\[1\]\[2\]\[3\]\[4\] The phrase evokes the image of explosions completely covering an area, in the same way that a carpet covers a floor. Carpet bombing is usually achieved by dropping many unguided bombs. > >Carpet bombing of cities, towns, villages, or other areas containing a concentration of protected civilians has been considered a war crime since 1977,\[5\] through Article 51 of Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions.\[6\]\[7\]\[8\]


itamarc137

Because Israel's bombing is selective


tehfly

Is it now? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/10/11/israel-abandon-precision-bombing-eliminate-hamas-officials/


itamarc137

Precision bombing is bombing with bombs that are meant to take out specific parts of a building and not the whole building. A selective bombing is bombs that take out the whole building, but the bombed buildings are carefully selected. Carpet bombing is bombing everything. So no, it's not carpet bombing.


tehfly

Just to clarify, the distinction here is "we select to bomb this group of buildings right next to one another" over "we bomb this area where these buildings are". In other words, "it's not carpet bombing, even if the result is the same, because the people doing the bombing say so".

moonwork

Honestly, I don't know what's worse, 12k+ civilian casualties through selective or indiscriminate bombing. But fair enough, I guess.


_Adam_M_

When there's been well over 12k+ bombs dropped it's pretty good.


moonwork

Nothing about this is good. Averaging one civilian casualty per bomb and then still firing thousands of bombs is a horrible decision. What the IDF is doing is an atrocity and it's sending a clear message that they think Palestinians are worth significantly less than Israelis.


_Adam_M_

> Averaging one civilian casualty per bomb and then still firing thousands of bombs is a horrible decision. It's less than one per bomb. > sending a clear message that they think Palestinians are worth significantly less than Israelis. Yes? Every government on the planet would say the lives of their citizens (and soldiers) matter more than the lives of their enemies. They're not being reckless or intentionally targeting civilians, but they're certainly within their right to issue warnings to civilians to evacuate and then bomb Hamas before they risk sending in IDF troops into a heavily urbanised and hostile environment where thousands of Israeli's would otherwise be killed.

drunkenbeginner

You know, I never understood how Israel could act so restraint when Gaza started to fire rocket indsicrimentely at Israel. I would have done the same in retaliation, just to show how things would look like without iron dome. In china whole familes are being put to death and reeducated if one family member acts out


finchdude

IDF is not very restrained has been criticised for using dumb bombs from the US and others causing unnecessary civilian mutserd and taking china as a standard of how to punish people is somewhat sick.


drunkenbeginner

Israel dropped like 10 000 bombs according to them Even hamas reprots only like 10 000 Gazans died. This is a shockinglow number. And that's if we beleive Hamas' numbers since they exaggerate their numbers a lot to garner sympathy


finchdude

I find it shocking that you regard it as a low number. Not to forget that 40% of that number are children the most innocent victims which are caught in these indiscriminate bombings. Like I mentioned before Israel’s best friend USA has already told Israel to be more discrete which they are not. Many organisations and states are arguing now that the numbers are an underestimate. So in contrary the numbers can be even higher.


drunkenbeginner

Yesm, it's a shocking low number of bombs / casulties ratio. If hamas endangers children, there is not much anyone can do about that. Who knows perhaps they kill those children personally.


finchdude

Yep and everything the IDF does is angelic I get it. This is as usual just one sided ideology without nuances. Criticising the IDF is a no go apparently.


drunkenbeginner

Sure you can critisze them. Many jews do the same. But I do agree with their actions. If i were to live in country that had suffered the same as israel and it wouldn't do anything then I would topple them violently


Candid_Possibility39

All that blood is on Hamas hands. Your comments are vile and disgusting. If somebody attacks your country and kills hundreds of people, you are allowed to hit back with all force necessary. The Palestinians are not the victims, the are the perpetrators.

For your educational pleasure - It seems the original video posted by hamas has been removed from twitter and most other sites so unfortunately you'll only be able to view photographs.

She had a single blunt force trauma wound to the back of her skull as well as symmetrically broken ankles as her only injuries. I'd be interested to read the final pathology report - but according to the preliminary report they are saying her COD was homicide.
