Israel says body of hostage recovered by special forces in night operation

Israel says its special forces have recovered the body of a man they say was killed while being held captive in Gaza.

Elad Katzir was one of the 253 people taken hostage during the Hamas-led attacks in Israel last October.

Almost six months now into the war, repeated attempts to broker a second truce - after a week-long pause in fighting in November - have failed.

Hamas leaders say they will travel to Cairo for ceasefire talks tomorrow, but have reiterated their demand for a prisoner exchange and a permanent end to the fighting.

Honestly, we don't know how he was killed?

Why would Hamas kill a hostage? Thats their currency.

If Gaza was being starved how would the hostages eat?

If Gaza was being bombed indiscriminately, how do we know the hostages weren't killed by these bombs?

The images coming out have convinced me that US politicians truly have no conscience to continue to allow this to happen.

[houarik]

Just like magic.... When they are summed to admit the killing of humanitarian workers, they find an hostage Propaganda at his high stage !

2000lb bombs and starvation don’t bring hostages home.
What did the body weigh when they picked him up? 67lbs?

Killed in January yet they found his BODY in April?

Hard not to see this " IDF mistake " was extremely successful in stopping more aid shipments into Gaza. Seems it was an intentional mistake that worked well for their continued genocidal plans.

Bombed by Israel no doubt. Thé released hostages told us how Hamas protected them with their life. The hostages were important to them but not to the Israeli govt

The small boy's story how he is screaming after seeing his sisters brutal death just broker me!!! It is horror we are watching!!!

[underworldraps]

It's hard to believe anything these occupiers say.

[ChrisAlbertH]

Every time they're found guilty of something they magically discover something else to try to divert our attention. It's getting blatantly obvious at this point.

[MilwaukeeMarv]

Why are they surprised they are doing indiscriminate bombing of their own hostages.

[jesuschrist]

Also refeeding after starvation can be deadly. Its called refeeding syndrome. It affected many when the extermination camps were liberated in europe by the allies. People started dropping dead after being fed.

[dougaltolan]

That's convinient, just after executing aid workers..

[KarlHamilton]

What about the thousands of Palestinian child hostages locked in israeli jails?

[llt]

As if they just found him. They shot those three hostages with a white flag. They shoot anything that moves.

[nakhan]

Natenyahu wants to continue fighting until all dead

[realJPRC]

We can’t have people living on 245 calories while getting bombed wtf

[adamking]

What about all those kids killed or who only have 1 leg?

[eugenesant]

The settlers blocked food from coming in so how are they supposed to feed the hostages?

[denisehusbands]

Did that lawyer say Israel is not committing genocide? Well they acts are very atrocious and ones that this lawyer would not want done to citizens of the UK.
