Hamas has indicated it is currently unable to identify and track down 40 Israeli hostages needed for the first phase of a ceasefire deal, according to an Israeli official and a source familiar with the discussions, raising fears that more hostages may be dead than are publicly known.
No. Let’s listen to Hamas and Qatar funded AlJazeera. They totally never lie to suit their own needs.
Well, OP linked a CNN article. And CNN says there aren’t 40 noncombatant hostages…
So, no…
We don’t have to just listen to Hamas or Israel.
Because Israel hasn’t been able to kill every international journalist that investigated their genocide. They’ve killed a shit ton, but not all of them.
Demand was 40 hostages, but primarily non-combatant. Then fill the rest with the rest.
