Hamas’s Qassam Brigades has threatened to execute Israeli captives if Israel continues to bombard and kill civilians in Gaza.

“Any targeting of innocent civilians without warning will be met regretfully by executing one of the captives in our custody, and we will be forced to broadcast this execution,” said Abu Obeida, a spokesman for Hamas’ Qassam Brigades.

“We regret this decision but we hold the Zionist enemy and their leadership the responsibility for this,” he said.

Every country who is an ally of Isreal will be sending in their special ops teams to assist, we can be sure of that. I expect the Canadian teams to be involved. I am sure there is a national kidnapped or killed from almost all developed countries by the sound of it.

Haha I love it how you guys watched enough GI Joe movies to think you can just helicopter some guys with night goggles into Gaza to surprise Hamas and free a few hundred hostages before they know what's up

Here's what'll happen in the real world: either they decide to surrender thousands of prisoners and admit defeat (highly unlikely) or they'll decide it's time to drop as many bombs as they can spare on Gaza as quickly as possible (unlikely) or they'll keep dropping bombs on confirmed positions for a few weeks and transition back to the status quo when support starts to wane (rather likely).

I'm sure Hamas will start offing Israeli and US hostages first while other governments can buy their citizens back for a couple mill a pop in the background

Quietly returning to the status quo is radically different from what happened after the Munich Olympics. What is it that makes you think the mossad and their political leaders are so much quicker to drop a grudge now?

I consider Mossad doing Mossad things and Hamas doing Hamas things as the status quo. As opposed to large scale incursions
