The military wing of the Hamas Movement announced on December 8 that it had foiled an attempt by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to free one of the Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades said that its fighters discovered a special forces unit of the IDF mounting a rescue operation and attacked it, killing and wounding several soldiers. It did specify the location of the incident.
It said a captive Israeli soldier was killed, naming him as Sa’ar Baruch, 25. Lists of the hostages published by Israel identify one of them as Sahar Baruch, a civilian student who was 24 when he was seized from his home during the October 7 Hamas-led surprise attack which sparked the war in Gaza.
The IDF, which is waging a ground operation in Gaza designed in part to recover 138 remaining hostages held by Hamas and other Palestinian armed factions, has not yet commented on the claims.
During the temporary ceasefire in Gaza, which went on from November 24 to December 1, Hamas released 105 hostages: 81 Israelis, 23 Thai nationals and one Filipino. From its side, Israel freed at least 240 Palestinians, all women and children, from its prisons.
Efforts to renew the ceasefire and secure the release of the remaining hostages are reportedly facing major obstacles. No progress was reported in recent days.
Hamas demands the release of all remaining Palestinian in Israeli prisons in exchange for the hostages. A demand that Israel is yet to accept.
another us – taliban cenario with a us “saigon moment” at the end.
the imbred settler colony is digging its grave. hated by everyone, their only allies are fake christian fanatics who need to feel good about themselves with an end times event. good luck ya fooking chumps
i will also change my name to death to hamassholes. just in case.
allah and yahveh is the very same character, god of desert. so if allah is satan, yahveh is satan as well. for allah there is not much evidence in books that he/she/it is a demon but there is plenty of evidence for yahveh in jewish scriptures. you can change your name into kikesshole. just in case
than ill change my to visitor of your wifes and doughters holes.
these fake christians are lunatic protestants or worse, stupid calvinists invented by a swiss jew jean calvin (coen). jews simply use these stupid and braindead so called christians, followers of that monstrous god of israel who has nothing in common with christ. but nobody can accuse german or anglo-saxon protestants of being much sane. take a look of their teleevangelists. sanity anyone?
i expect the israeli regime will show the remaining hostages – probably all idf soldiers – the same deep concern they showed the israelis they slaughtered with their “mass hannibal directive” during the hamas raid.
it’s not a hannibal directive but a natanyahoo directive. hannibal would be ashamed that kikessholes use his name to justify blatant war crime
if i were a hostage the last thing i would want is for israel’s fat, unfit, reservist army to try to “rescue” me.
why israeli soldiers wear camouflage underpants on their heads? it’s because during anti-roman uprising zaddokim thughs put on their (some would say soiled ones ) underpants on their heads as a sign of recognition. romans thought they were koo-koos and didn’t pay much attention on them. therefore, beware of a jew with underpants on his head. he may be looking as a koo-koo but in reality, he is.
