Interesting how Hamas was able to shield the hostages from all those Israeli bombs, while so many Gazans died

I wonder if Gazans are pissed about that

1. Perhaps you hqave not heard about the tunnels.

[Think. Again.]

3. Weren't the tunnels...

...targets of the bombing?

[NoRethugFriends]

4. Think maybe Israel had knowlesge of hostage locations?

[Think. Again.]

6. That's my guess.

[LymphocyteLover]

5. that's my point

[Think. Again.]

2. I was curious about that too...

...one of my (many) concerns about the 'big net' approach by Israel was whether they would hitting any of the locations where they were being held. Unless Israel had some idea of where those locations were?

But yeah, the Gazans have been pissed about hamas for a long time.

7. They weren't

Remember that - despite claims of genocide (etc.) - there are reportedly 15k Gazan casualties. But that’s out of a population of about 2.5 million.

Out of 250 hostages… that would work out to 1-2 deaths. And we know there have been far more than that number.

8. Good point although in theory Israel was specifically targeting Hamas and the tunnels

so the Hamas and hostage casualties should have been proportionally higher.

Unless Israel know where the hostages were... and didn't bomb there?
