I can’t risk looking at twitter anymore. I’m following some Gazans on instagram and some threads on here and that’s it. It’s all so horrific .

Saar Baruch, one of the kibbutz hostages, has been killed. There is a video, that I won't share.

I've seen it. The injuries look like torture.

The bones were the wrong way, that’s internal.

Oh my gosh, how awful

stomachameleon · 08/12/2023 13:15

@EllaDisenchanted that's awful.

sickening

See this is part of my confusion, because so much is coming out that is or isn’t true from either side. Maya’s feet are shown to be the “right” way round when she was released- so perhaps something is lost in translation but I am not sure this particular claim is true

Eitan Levi (53) another hostage confirmed not alive. hamas retaining his body.

Dror Kaplan (68) thought to be held hostage, has had his remains identified and is confirmed not alive. Archaeologists had to identify him from bones found.

nothing showing on any of my channels about Sahar Baruch.

Sky news have reported that one of the hostages Sa'ar Baruch has been killed during clashes in a rescue attempt

This hasn't been verified by the IDF yet

@Stomacharmeleon do you know If this has been confirmed?

An Israeli soldier who was taken hostage has been killed in a clash between Hamas fighters and Israeli special forces, the militant group has claimed.
The armed wing of Hamas said the Israeli troops were conducting a rescue operation when its fighters confronted the unit.
It identified the captive soldier who was killed as 25-year-old Sa'ar Baruch and gave an identification number for him.
The Israel Defence Forces has not immediately commented on the claim.

@EasterIssland I don't disagree if they want to keep the hostages families sane. Worrying about welfare is one thing. Being told unequivocally by other nation that's what's happening is another.

They aren't daft.

EasterIssland · 07/12/2023 23:36

Can’t remember who mentioned it a few days ago and we spoke about this and also whether it was this thread so apologies if it wasn’t here

idf is rejecting the idea of Hamas keeping the women in order to rape them and is calling USA irresponsible for that suggestion.

Very brave, so please to hear all 3 of them escaped.

Meanwhile it's all gone quiet re the rest of the hostages. I fear the worst to be honest.

I’m regularly checking back to see about the other hostages

The poor man who has lost the arm, Noa from the back of the bike and Naama Levy are the ones i keep thinking of; and of course the Bibas family

You can feel her frustration....

Normally I am a big fan of the red cross but during this conflict they have been ridiculously useless. Not just in dealing with the hostages but in much of their handling of Gazan civilians. I think the trouble with a lot of the charities and organisations working in Gaza is they have been too badly infiltrated over the years by Hamas. It is totally normal and right for them to employ local people, that happens all over the world. It provides employment and a local knowledge that is important. However it can backfire too

No idea. It’s completely unclear to me. Israeli politics is not something I feel very qualified on. British politics was complicated enough 😬😬😬

Parkingt111 · 06/12/2023 19:04

There was points mentioned online but all not verified

I saw this article though on the Times of Israel

@Humdingerydoo thank you for sharing

I have been following the updates of the meeting yesterday
I wanted to ask generally I know its very difficult but how much influence does the families have?

I personally think that they should have been given some credit for the last truce as they made it pretty clear to the government that they were not going to back down and I'm sure that played a part

Or if anyone else who knows more about Israeli politics can shed some light please

Sigal, the wife of one of the hostages, Dolev Yehud (35) gave birth not long after he was taken; he remains in captivity in Gaza with his sister Arbel Yehud (28) and her boyfriend Ariel Cunio.

Ariel Cunio's brother (David), wife (Sharon Cunio) , twins (Yuli and Emma), wife's sister and daughter (Danielle and Emilia Aloni) were also taken.
Sharon, Danielle, and the children were released. David remains hostage.

This extended family have been affected to a shocking degree.
