Methinks Hamas can't find any 40 live hostages anymore.

Especially the 2 children everyone knows Israel wants back! I fear you are right and the babies and their mother may no longer be with us.

Or they did things to those poor people, that are worse than death.
And they wouldn't want the world to know.

Maybe we'll never know.
But God knows.
