    JERUSALEM, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Israel’s military on Tuesday confirmed the death of a soldier held captive in Gaza after Hamas issued video of her alive followed by images of what the Palestinian faction said was her body after she was killed in an Israeli strike.

    It appeared to be the first time Israel has confirmed such a claim by Hamas, which in the past has said that dozens of hostages from its Oct. 7 attack on Israeli border villages and army bases had died or were missing due to the ensuing Gaza war.

    In the Hamas video, disseminated on social media on Monday, Noa Marciano identified herself on camera and said she had been held in Gaza for four days - indicating it was taped on Oct. 11.

    The video then shows still pictures of a young woman of similar appearance lying, looking sallow and with her eyes closed, on a blood-stained bedsheet.

    A caption said Marciano, 19, was killed “in an air strike by the Zionist enemy” last Thursday.

    The military statement did not comment on the circumstances of Marciano’s death other than to describe her as an “abductee fatality in the hands of a terrorist organisation”.

            Peaceful coexistence cannot happen as long as Israel is committing genocide and maintains asymmetric power over the lives of Palestinian peoples.

            At the end of the day, most people are pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel. They are not anti-semites despite the never end ding attempt at saying they are by genocide supporting shills such as yourself.

        From your link:

        According to lexicographer David ben Abraham al-Fasi (died before 1026 CE), the Muslim conquest of Palestine brought relief to the country’s Jewish citizens, who had previously been barred by the Byzantines from praying on the Temple Mount.

        That doesn’t sound like the Muslims drove the Jews out of Palestine or killed them all off, it just sounds like a change of government and one that treated Jews better than the previous one had.
