Palestinian group says captive Israeli soldier killed in Gaza by Israeli air strike

8. It is strange ...

how the Zionists justify it when they kill their own people.

Three hostages were shot by Israel.

The explanation here is "well, we just presumed they were dead already, and therefore we were allowed to kill them ourselves."

You can't blame Hamas for hostages Israel kills.

Now, Israel knows its invasion will probably kill more hostages. So it just declares they are already dead.

Also, Hamas did not hunt just to rape and slaughter. They did it because they believe it makes it more likely Israel's siege of Gaza will end, as will the occupation of the West Bank. They might be right. There have been articles saying there might be a new push for negotiation, owing to the 20K+ Palestinians killed. Also, they did it to trade hostages for prisoners. That part has already worked.
