Israel and Hamas trade accusations as tensions rise over hostages’ remains​

Militant group says it needs specialist equipment to recover bodies as Netanyahu says fight ‘is not over yet’

Israel and Hamas have traded accusations of ceasefire violations amid tensions over the flow of aid into Gaza and warnings that the humanitarian crisis in the devastated territory risks deteriorating further.

The ceasefire deal signed last week between Israel and Hamas raised hopes of a surge of humanitarian aid finally reaching the territory after two years of war, but most restrictions have remained in place, throttling the supply of desperately needed assistance.

Israel accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire agreement by failing to return the remains of deceased hostages. On Monday, Hamas returned the last 20 surviving hostages but handed back only nine of 28 deceased captives, saying it would need specialist recovery equipment to retrieve the rest from the ruins of Gaza.

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, said on Thursday he was determined to ensure Hamas handed back the remains of hostages still in Gaza, adding that the fight “is not over yet”.

A senior Hamas official accused Israel of breaking the ceasefire by killing at least 24 people in shootings since Friday, and said a list of such incidents had been handed over to mediators. “The occupying state is working day and night to undermine the agreement through its violations on the ground,” he said.

I think the criminal organization Hamas has to be eradicated and prevented from ever holding power again. MAGA morons think they can be negotiated with and left alone.

It's unfortunate Hamas armed forces hide within civilian populations, rather than try to draw Israeli forces away from heavily populated areas. That's what legitimate military forces would do.

Genocide.

You don't seem upset in the least that Hamas intentionally and knowingly embeds itself within the civilian population, rather than fighting tactically as a legitimate military force.

There is no army called "Hamas."

Hamas is the elected authority in Gaza and operates it's own militia, not as a legitimate military force, but as a criminal organization that embeds itself within densely populated civilians areas, and rapes female prisoners.

Hamas was not elected.

Which is also funded by Iran.

not as a legitimate military force,

True Scotsman fallacy. A militia is a military force.

but as a criminal organization

A military force by definition is not criminal.

that embeds itself within densely populated civilians areas, and rapes female prisoners.

A poor tactic, to be sure. Unfortunately, Hamas is not a signatory to the Geneva Convention and routinely uses it's own civilians as human shields.
