    So, they’re blowing up entire families supposedly on the claims of tunnels being below said homes.

    Aren’t those tunnels the places where the majority of the hostages are being kept? So the IDF are actively trying to kill the hostages?

      They are at war so yes. The bed to take the city and they need to take the tunnels out to take the city. This is not a new problem in war. These aren’t insurance they are dealing with. Israel does not occupy the ground yet.

      My perception is that negotiation with hostage takers only encourages them to take more hostages. I’m not smart on this so don’t take my word for it.
