Hostages Dispersed Across Multiple Districts of Gaza City - According to Hamas
In the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, the Israeli government initiated a ground offensive in Gaza City on Tuesday night, with the stated aim of dismantling Hamas and securing the release of the remaining hostages. However, the fate of these hostages remains uncertain, as Hamas has threatened that the Israeli government's decision to invade Gaza will not spare the lives of the hostages.
Currently, there are 20 living hostages being held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, among a total of 48 abductees. These hostages include Israeli citizens and at least one hostage with German citizenship. Hamas has dispersed the hostages across different areas of Gaza City, using them as human shields amid ongoing Israeli military operations.
Hamas has reportedly taken the hostages out of tunnels and brought them to houses and tents to prevent the Israeli army from operating in certain areas. The Kassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, stated that the hostages' fate will be the same as that of Ron Arad, an Israeli navigator who was captured in Lebanon in 1986 and whose fate remains unknown.
The Israeli government's decision to invade Gaza despite the knowledge that a living captive can simply disappear from the world has sparked concern among the relatives of the abducted Israelis. Relatives accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of sacrificing the hostages with the ground offensive in Gaza.
Relatives fear for the lives of the hostages due to the ongoing conflict. Hamas's threat regarding the hostages' fate refers to the possibility of them disappearing from the world, similar to the case of Ron Arad. There is no new information about the fate of Ron Arad, who has been missing since 1986.
Gaza has been threatened by Hamas to become a graveyard for Israeli soldiers. Hamas has not made any new statements about the hostages' fate since the offensive began. The Israeli offensive in Gaza has begun and none of the hostages will return to Israel, according to recent reports.
Hamas has prepared thousands of ambushes and explosives for Israel's army. The ongoing conflict in Gaza puts the lives of the hostages at risk. Despite the uncertainty, the Israeli government continues its operations in Gaza, with the hope of securing the release of the hostages and bringing an end to the conflict.
