"It is now impossible to know exactly who is still alive and who has been killed," a senior Hamas official told the BBC in an interview today. Hamas blames Israel for their own inability to keep track of the hostages: Israeli civilians who were stolen from their homes after Hamas murdered their families before their eyes. I am begging you not to fall for their cynical attempt to blame Israel. Hamas, not Israel, took these hostages, and each one is a war crime. Hamas, not Israel, put the hostages and Palestinian civilians at risk by conducting their operations in civilian areas. Hamas, not Israel, has the power to end this war by surrendering and letting the hostages come home now.
