The soldiers were able to get the three hostages and the injured man into a vehicle, but it broke down under Hamas fire from rifles and rocket-propelled grenades, officials said. At one point, Avivi said, they were forced to abandon the vehicle and seek refuge in a building nearby.

The commanders called for air support.

“The air force started shooting to give them a corridor, a wall of fire,” said retired Maj. Gen. David Tsur, a former Yamam commander.

Are you saying that the hostages shouldn't have been rescued? orange jar Jun 2024 #2

That's exactly what he/she is saying. nt MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2024 #4

People seem to forget that the hostages are innocent people, too. orange jar Jun 2024 #5

People seem to forget that killing children is a war crime no matter who does it TomDaisy Jun 2024 #13

I agree. orange jar Jun 2024 #14

Collective Punishment - also a war crime. TomDaisy Jun 2024 #16

Indeed, the war crime of taking hostages is also the war crime of collective punishment. Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #21

It sounds like at least some of the Palestinian casualties sarisataka Jun 2024 #7

"Sounds like?" That's a damned weak supposition. Sounds like a refugee camp suffered hundreds of deaths in Martin68 Jun 2024 #11

Does Hamas have unique weapons sarisataka Jun 2024 #12

Well, we already know Israel has no such weapons, but they do have weapons that are 10,000 times more devastating than Martin68 Jun 2024 #24

Not for lack of trying sarisataka Jun 2024 #25

Okay atreides1 Jun 2024 #28

Agreed sarisataka Jun 2024 #29

Which means the Israeli response is highly disproportionate. Martin68 Jun 2024 #32

What would be your idea of a proportionate response to abducting, raping and killing hostages? Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #34

Carry out a ground operation to locate and exterminate Hamas. That would require the death of more Israeli soldiers, but Martin68 Jun 2024 #39

How do you locate an estimated 15,000 militants hiding underground among civilians? Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #40

It is not insanity, it is anti-terrorism. It involves loss of life on both sides, But it is far better than bombing Martin68 Jun 2024 #41

What is your background in anti-terrorism? Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #47

The IDF HAS been carrying out a ground operation to locate and exterminate Hamas. EX500rider Jun 2024 #43

My point is that the threat is an empty one. Hamas does not have the ability or power to eradicate Israel. Using that Martin68 Jun 2024 #31

Let's see if you can take your premise to its logical conclusion. Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #35

It sure looks to me like Israel has eradicated Gaza. Have you seen photos of the destruction? How many Israelis has Martin68 Jun 2024 #38

If Israel eradicated Gaza, who is holding the hostages? Who is shooting at Israeli soldiers? Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #46

I do not view it as empty nor sarisataka Jun 2024 #37
