From the same link: Margalit's latest account of her experience in Gaza came after Israel's army said on Saturday its troops recovered the body of another hostage from Nir Oz. The recovery of Elad Katzir's body brings to 12 the number of bodies of hostages which the army says it has brought home from Gaza during the war. But it gave no comfort to his sister, who blamed Israeli authorities for his death. The IDF said in a statement that 'the body of the abductee Elad Katzir, who according to intelligence was murdered in captivity by the Islamic Jihad terrorist organisation, was rescued overnight from Khan Yunis and returned to Israeli territory'. Katzir, 47 at the time of attack, was abducted from Nir Oz kibbutz community along with his mother Hanna. She was released on November 24 during a one-week truce in the war in Gaza. Katzir's father was killed during the attack at the kibbutz, the army said. The army said its intelligence suggested that Katzir was murdered in mid-January, shortly after Islamic Jihad released a video footage showing him in captivity. 'He was buried in the ground,' a military official told journalists at a briefing. Following intelligence, troops reached the site and 'began excavation' work to recover his body, the official said. 'Their efforts resulted in the discovery of the body, which was then transported to Israel for further examination,' he said. Katzir's sister expressed fury at the authorities. 'Elad was kidnapped from his home in Nir Oz in one piece,' Carmit Palty Katzir wrote on her Facebook page. She blamed the Israeli authorities for her brother's death, saying he would have returned alive had the authorities agreed to a new truce deal. 'Our leadership is cowardly and driven by political consideration, which is why this deal has not happened yet,' she wrote. 'Prime Minister, war cabinet, and coalition members: Look at yourself in the mirror and say if your hands didn't spill blood.' Her comments reflect intensifying pressure on the coalition government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over its handling of the war.

Another load of diatribe against me, thanks, water off a ducks back. Now try putting your mind on to the point I made in the original post and I quote: "I find it unbelievable that people on here don't think that the barbarism that occurred on the 7th Oct was done on a whim and that Israel had given the Palestinian people no reasons for them to hate and despise them.

Get over yourself, my comment has everything to do with this situation, from the hostages, to the terrorism of Hamas and the response from Israel up to press, you don't want to address anything apart from revenge and destruction in Gaza. The victim here is not only Israeli's, it is also the whole of Humanity that is witnessing this tragedy.

Yes, of course he said that, wouldn't expect anything else but a one-sided view. If it was the opposite or anything not pro-IDF you wouldn't of posted it. -

Revealed: BBC failed to declare interviewee’s links to the Israeli army Newsnight’s military expert Richard Kemp is head of a charity funded by the Israeli Defence Forces. Appearing on the BBC’s flagship daily news and current affairs programme last week to discuss the war in Gaza and pro-Palestine marches in the UK, Colonel Richard Kemp was introduced as “a former army officer and terrorism expert who sat on the government’s Joint Intelligence Committee”. But what host Kirsty Wark did not mention was that Kemp is also a director and trustee of an organisation that both raises money for and is funded by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/bbc-newsnight-failed-declare-richard-kemp-link-idf-israel-army-gaza-palestine/ -

Very nice OPINION piece as stated, we will probably never know the full cost in human lives until all the bodies under the rubble are included in the count. -

I am not anti-Jew, I am anti-Israeli, Israel has no chance of clearing Hamas out of Gaza, if anything they have been the best recruiting sergeant ever with their methods of trying to clear them. As for WW2 clearing of Nazi's and civilian casualties, 80 years ago different times with different weapons systems.

Secretary-General António Guterres (at podium) briefs reporters on the situation in Gaza on the six months mark since 7 October 2023. "In its speed, scale and inhumane ferocity, the war in Gaza is the deadliest of conflicts – for civilians, for aid workers, for journalists, for health workers, and for our own colleagues. Some 196 humanitarian aid workers – including more than 175 members of our own UN staff – have been killed. The vast majority were serving UNRWA [The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East], the backbone of all relief efforts in Gaza," said the Secretary-General, and continued: "I repeat my urgent appeals for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, the protection of civilians, and the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid. […] Six months on, we are at the brink: of mass starvation; of regional conflagration; of a total loss of faith in global standards and norms." https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1b/k1b6qeybps?fbclid=IwAR0zR_Upy231Fib0SJDapfmOBmvyr42hLQdZyCcXwYwDm9vZhuhB9ra0PDk_aem_AUN1igoxCeYizYyNGr-SSMmwlEO4fAQu15sOtgpQHVCYvMdhOoI0nS-UFy5E0tqAtQPHId5RgsD2Ehu6fQcWl5YO -
