@darnell @Jennifer @mycotropic @randahl The hostages are in those tunnels Hamas has built, but the IDF doesn’t know exactly where. The IDF has been flooding the tunnels with seawater which endangers the hostages as much as it does Hamas.

And there was that time the IDF shot three hostages who escaped on their own. Getting the hostages back does not seem to be as high on their list as killing Gazans.
