According to Arab sources in Gaza, some of the hostages are being held in private homes, and some in tents.
Another report stated that Hamas has appointed several senior commanders to oversee the fighting on the ground. According to Arab sources, the four senior figures are:
Az al-Din Haddad, head of the military wing; Raed Saad, head of the operations division; Mohammed Odeh, head of intelligence; Mahanad Rajab, a senior figure in Hamas’ military wing in the Gaza Brigade, from a clan strongly affiliated with Hamas and based in both Shejaiya and Tuffah.
Earlier, Merav, the mother of hostage Guy Gilboa-Dalal, revealed in an interview with IDF Radio that her son is being held alone above ground in Gaza and is being used as a “human shield.”
“I was informed that Guy is being held alone above ground in Gaza, serving as a human shield,” she said. “Don’t try to question me further – there are many things I want to say, but I’m holding back out of concern for my son’s safety. When he comes home, maybe I’ll scream louder, maybe I’ll shake things up more.”
We all need to increase our prayers …tefila …teshuva and tzedaka …we have to have kavana for our brothers.
May hashem save all of am Israel.
Don’t believe this for Human shields. I believe the Tunnels are Gone and they didnt have a choice but to go upstairs. lets hope the special units can save them now
We must daven for a quick release.
Hard to know what’s true.
If only they had some hardy reinforcements to replenish weary troops and get reinforcements more steadily ….
hard to believe that its almost 2 years that these Jews are suffering and there is indifference to their suffering, I see the rich frum Jews partying on their private jets just as much, the Catskills meat board producers cant keep up with demand, in Lakewood the contractors say there is not enough marble to build for the rich chevra houses yet these Jews are daily beated, tortured, starved and emotionally abused.
bring them home now!
