According to the latest news, the Israeli military found the bodies of three Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 in recent operations.
These corpses were broken up by Hamas militants, so the Israeli army once mistook them for four corpses. After DNA identification, they were identified as three, and their cruelty was appalling.
The Israeli army confirmed the body of Shani Locke, a 22-year-old German Israeli citizen, among the remains, and the other two were Amit Buskira and Yitzhak Gollente. All three of them participated in the Nova Music Festival in southern Israel, close to Gaza, on October 7.
In other words, they are praying for peace and sympathizing with the Palestinians.
After Shanny Luke was kidnapped, the video circulated on social media showed that the gunman was sitting on the body of the poor girl who had no reaction but only underwear - because her very symbolic hair dyeing and tattoos made it easy to identify her.
After the Israeli army's ground operation in Gaza began, the Israeli army found Luke's head. Israeli President Isaac Herzog said, "Her head was found, which means that these barbaric and sadistic animals directly cut off her head when attacking, torturing and killing Israelis."
According to the Israeli army, on October 7, four Hamas militants who took Luke's body in a car for a humiliating parade had so far been killed.
In addition, the Singapore Lianhe Morning Post said on May 17 that the Israeli military had confirmed that two Thai hostages kidnapped by Hamas in the Gaza Strip had died. The two Thais were originally working in a plantation near southern Israel, and their remains are still being detained by Hamas.
No one can say clearly how many of the 133 hostages still in Hamas' hands are alive. It is widely speculated that most of the hostages are dead, because some of them were randomly assigned to the so-called Palestinian civilians' homes, and the civilians may be more cruel to these hostages (Hamas had to protect them with arms when the first ceasefire hostage exchange was held last year, because Palestinians along the way might also attack these hostages).
This is the true face of Palestinian civilians.
In terms of fighting, so far, Israel has found 700 tunnels in Rafah, 50 of which lead directly to Egypt. Egypt claims that all tunnels in Egypt have been sealed, but it is believed that this is not the case. In fact, arms trade between Egypt and Hamas is still going through these tunnels—— Hamas sells international aid materials to obtain dollars and buys weapons through Egypt. Arab affairs experts said that Hamas has earned 500 million dollars this year by controlling the sale of free financial aid materials from the United Nations and other countries, and through the sale of materials to obtain wealth to support the operation of the organization and purchase weapons.
This is the underground smuggling passage between Gaza and Egypt that was allegedly discovered by the Israeli army:
US President Biden has warned Israel once again not to attack Rafah, or it will stop supplying some weapons to the Israeli army. One day after Biden issued the warning, Netanyahu responded at the security cabinet meeting and said, "We are not a vassal of the United States!". Israeli Defense Minister Joaf Garrant said, "As more troops enter Rafah, the operation will continue".
John Spencer, the city war instructor of West Point Military Academy, said that the Gaza war could not be won quickly, and the main obstacle was the White House. Because after Biden's embargo on Israeli weapons, not only the Israeli army was unable to launch attacks but could only operate outside Rafah City, Hizbullah's attacks on northern Israel also escalated significantly, and the end of the war was even more remote.
In my opinion, this statement is biased.
In fact, the United States' constraint on Israel is more to avoid humanitarian disasters than to Paula Fa. Previously, Rafah, a tiny place, had gathered nearly half of Gaza. If Israel rushed to attack, civilian casualties would be very huge. At present, the Israeli military is mainly operating outside Rafah to tighten the fence, prevent Hamas militants, especially those leaders, from escaping, and leave time for evacuating civilians, not because the United States stopped arms aid.
According to the latest news, more than 800000 people have been evacuated from Rafah to the security zone designated by the Israeli army. It can be expected that once the evacuation of civilians is completed, the Israeli army will go deep into Rafah, and the United States will not stop it at that time.
It is worth mentioning that the Qatari media said that the Qatari government had tactfully asked the top leader of Hamas and the President of the Political Bureau Haniyeh to leave the country two weeks ago.
If this is true, the US emperor's attitude will be clear.
Benny Ganz, the Israeli War Cabinet Minister, set a deadline for Netanyahu to formulate a clear war plan before June 8, otherwise he would withdraw from the war cabinet. Ganz said:
"If you choose to lead the country into the abyss, we will withdraw from the government, turn to the people, and form a government that can bring real victory." Ganz listed six goals:
1. Return of hostages
2. Disarm Hamas and demilitarize Gaza
3. Identify governance alternatives for Gaza
4. Let the residents of northern Gaza return before September 1
5. Promote normalization of relations (with Saudi Arabia)
6. Establish a unified Israeli national service standard
At present, Israel's war cabinet is seriously divided. However, Netanyahu, Ganz and Garrant are unanimous in the thorough eradication of Hamas. Their differences mainly lie in how to manage Gaza after the war.
Galant clearly opposes Israel's post-war rule of Gaza, which is also the attitude of most countries in the world, including the United States. I deeply believe that.
However, one thing must be clear, that is, the armed forces of Hamas must be eliminated first, and then the question of who will rule Gaza can be discussed. Otherwise, it is empty talk.
In addition, before the disarming of Hamas and the establishment of a new governing system, there must be a transition period, during which no Palestinian political organization, including Fatah, can manage Gaza, or Hamas will surely return.
