CAIRO, Dec 30 (Reuters) - The armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said on Saturday that an Israeli soldier being held captive by the group in Gaza had been killed in an Israeli air strike that had also wounded some of his captors.

In an audio speech broadcast by Al Araby television, a spokesperson for the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades group said the air strike took place following a failed attempt by Israeli commandos to free the soldier.

The spokesperson gave no details of when the soldier had been taken captive, or where he was being held in Gaza. He said the group is still holding the body of the slain soldier.

1. Of course Hamas is saying this.

Most if not all the remaining hostages are dead and probably died on or just after October 7th.

There will probably be many more claims soon. They have to give some reason for not releasing hostages.

Return the bodies...let forensic science give the date and cause of death.

Most of us knew this was coming.

Murderous vile animals!

2. It's so interesting how the media frame their narratives.

Israel "claims", but "terrorists "say".

[revmclaren]

3. Exactly.

[The Magistrate]

4. Interesting Point, Ma'am

Personally I doubt any remain alive. Or will be released alive, anyway.

5. imagination

1. There is zero evidence most of the hostages are dead. And if there were much evidence, you would see such claims periodical appearing in mainstream media.

2. It is immature to call humans animals. Call them evil, if you must.

[revmclaren]

6. Hamas are more like rabid animals. No conscience, no pity

just pure rage...and yes...very evil. At least ordinary animals dont hunt to just rape and slaughter.

As for the hostages, unless proof is shown that they are still alive, many of us have very low expectations that they are. This doubt grows daily. Its beginning to look to be pure imagination to believe they are alive and well.

8. It is strange ...

how the Zionists justify it when they kill their own people.

Three hostages were shot by Israel.

The explanation here is "well, we just presumed they were dead already, and therefore we were allowed to kill them ourselves."

You can't blame Hamas for hostages Israel kills.

Now, Israel knows its invasion will probably kill more hostages. So it just declares they are already dead.

Also, Hamas did not hunt just to rape and slaughter. They did it because they believe it makes it more likely Israel's siege of Gaza will end, as will the occupation of the West Bank. They might be right. There have been articles saying there might be a new push for negotiation, owing to the 20K+ Palestinians killed. Also, they did it to trade hostages for prisoners. That part has already worked.

9. Boy... you created an account to support Hamas.

So very obvious.

Hey MIRT....

[muhamed g]

10. Nope

This account has supported truth objectively. Meanwhile your account says things like "even though I have no evidence, I know all the hostages are dead." You could try to be more objective and factual.

[revmclaren]

11. The truth is that the Hamas monsters

will forever until the end of time will be known as 'The Butchers Of Innocents ' and will take their place in the annuals of history with the likes of Hitler and his ilk.

Through with your Hamas support.
I will not respond to you again.
Enjoy your stay.

[muhamed g]

12. More delusion

That is not the truth. That is wishful thinking. The comparison with Hitler is outright silly because Hitler killed 1 out of 3 Jews. Hamas killed 1 out of 15,000 Jews. 100 years from now, this event will be unknown except by a few historians.

In fairness to you, a lot of people use this "till the end of time" claim to rally the troops. Henry the Fifth told his troops, their victory will be "told from now till the end of the world." You probably never even heard of their victory. And incidentally Henry the Fifth committed war crimes no worse than Hamas. Henry ordered all prisoners of war slaughtered. You probably never even heard that, despite the Shakespeare play.

[Beastly Boy]

7. No matter what they say, the truth is that the Pqalestinian terrorist group killed an Israeli hostage.

They can spin it in any way they want.
