The key part is getting all the hostages home.
Something Hamas doesn't want to do for all the land in the middle east.

Isn't there a cognitive disconnect with the desire to obtain hostages while simultaneously committing genocide - in the same place and time?
From the footage it would appear that the hostages taken at the festival were by Palestinian civilians.
Knowing that much, if civilians don't have access to the tunnels the IDF would have bombed the hostages to death by now.
Israel intelligence must calculate that much as well, and early on.
I trust NPR.
I just don't find the format as useful as it once was.
I stopped listening during the time the news cycle was dominated by Curious Bush Invades Iraq. Hearing about freshly kilked Americans every morning is no way to start the day.
