Hamas has released a video announcing the death of two Israeli hostages and claimed that they were killed by Israeli airstrikes.

The video showed a female hostage named in Israeli media as Noa Argamani, 26, speaking under duress, revealing that two men she was held captive with had been killed in captivity. It was not clear when or where the video was filmed and there was no independent confirmation of Hamas’s claims.

The three hostages were shown in a 37-second Hamas video released on Sunday in which the group urged the Israeli government to halt its aerial and ground offensive and bring about their release. The undated clip ended with the caption: “Tomorrow [Monday] we will inform you of their fate.”

In a statement released with the new video, Hamas’s armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam brigades, said the two men, believed to be Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itay Svirsky, 38, had been killed in “the Zionist army’s bombing”.

    The US, EU, etc. Are buying and distributing aid. They send these trucks via NGOs for food distribution. 200 is the number they have. Don’t know if it’s enough but it seemed to be the last few years.

    Isreal looks at these shipments to make sure they don’t contain material or weapons that could be used against them. The US Coast Guard does the same exercise.

    I don’t accept the premise of your question, as it assumes facts not in evidence. But, if I read it plainly, of course not.

      It is not enough. And if you’re reading just 200, than you’re not reading correctly.

      Again, 200 was the number during the temporary seize fire.

      I never argued about people buying and sending in food aid, and you’re obviously writing that to try and distract from the point.

      You’re also trying to sidestep the 2000 number with the:

      Don’t know if it’s enough but it seemed to be the last few years.

      comment. You should know. You should know that it isn’t enough based on the population numbers that we seem to agree on, and the statement you made earlier about the arid conditions. (That’s part of the issue with the peace process. Funny how most of the water sources ended up on the other side of the wall. Why would anyone agree to peace when they won’t have water?) You should know that 200 isn’t enough in the same way that you should know that the sky is blue on a sunny day.

      How do you not comprehend that this:

      Isreal looks at these shipments to make sure they don’t contain material or weapons that could be used against them.

      is a lie when Israel openly boasts about putting the Gazan population on a starvation diet. That is because they don’t allow **FOOD ** in. Food is not a weapon. Do you think food is a weapon?

      Finally:

      I don’t accept the premise of your question, as it assumes facts not in evidence. But, if I read it plainly, of course not.

      is not an answer. I’m not asking you to state Israel is committing genocide.

      First I want you to admit that a group not allowing enough food for a population is trying to kill off a portion of that population.

      There are no facts assumed there.

      The facts tying Israels actions, along with citations proving that that is happening, comes later.

      So, do you think a government (any government) intentionally withholding food, potable water, and medicine from a population it considers undesirable (Any undesirable population) is committing genocide?

        I’m sorry you’re disappointed.

        Perhaps you should ask aid contributors why they don’t roll your 2,000 trucks a day.

        You got your answer.

          I did get my answer, and so did everyone else reading this.

          Everyone knows why you don’t want to answer.

          Also, the issue isn’t the aid contributors. It’s the government stopping that food and not allowing it
