23 bodies of hostages under rubble: Hamasā armed wing says

Hamasās armed wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, said Saturday that 60 Israeli hostages have been killed in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7.
Spokesman Abu Obeida said after search operations, "still there are 23 bodies (of hostages) lost under the rubble."
"It seems we won't be able to reach them due to the ongoing brutal aggression by the occupation on Gaza," Abu Obeida added.
Al-Qassam Brigades said in an earlier statement that it is holding 200 - 250 hostages, including soldiers and civilians.
The Israeli army said there are 242 Israelis held in Gaza by the Palestinian resistance group.
Commentary:
Knowing the blood thirsty attitude and zeal of Hamas terrorists, the sixty deaths were probably murdered well before Israel retaliated.
Whatever follows the words āHamas saysā is a lie.
If true, then the Hamas' bargaining chip is gone, and there is no need for restraint for Israel. Keep going until there is verifiably no more Hamas remaining.
Israel has been pretty specific - no cease fire until all the hostages have been released , presumably unharmed.
Looks like Hamas is not going to get their cease fire.
It appears Israel is operating correctly. There wonāt be a ceasefire until the hostages are released, although I really donāt see any need for a pause considering there have been hundreds of foreign nationals that have exited Gaza without a pause in hostilities. Israel has not stopped their attack because of danger posed to hostages, but they will try to free hostages if possible. To say the quiet part out loud, Israel has assumed the hostages are already dead. Personally, I think thatās the way you stop future hostage taking. No negotiating for hostages and you kill the enemy. No more enemy leads to no more hostage taking.
