    Hamas staged a public ceremony in Khan Yunis before releasing the bodies as they displayed images of the hostages and blamed Israel for their deaths, a claim Israeli officials strongly ‘rejected’.

    Yeah, they spent more than a year basically leveling Gaza, killed tens of thousands of people, but the suggestion that these 4 might have been among those they killed is just unthinkable.

      I think that it’s probably to imply that it’s an allegation, not established fact that they were killed by the IDF.

      Probably because of the “defense” part, when they’re the aggressor.
