    I am not here to give Israel a W, but Hamas still has a number of civilian captives from the original October 7 attack. Just not as many surviving as was assumed.

    According to Israel’s own figures, there are 90 or so living hostages and 30 or so bodies still held by Hamas IIRC. Apparently most of the 90 survivors are non-civilians, based on what Hamas is saying, but some of them still are.

      According to Israel’s own figures,

      But not according to anyone else’s…

      Israel has been flattening the entire area, they can’t keep track of how many they kill, regardless of what country they’re from.

      But the article OP linked even says there aren’t 40 noncombatants left…

      CNN’s record of the conditions of the hostages also suggests there are fewer than 40 living hostages who meet the proposed criteria.

      I’m not sure what you’re not understanding about this.

      Or why you’re listening to Israel still
