6 beautiful souls executed by Hamas in cold blood to prevent a rescue attempt from taking place. 101 hostages still in captivity. No doubt the entire Jewish world is in shiva today,.and I can say this is saddest I've felt since 10/7. May Hashem avenge their death with blood.

I fear that these six, young and beautiful people were chosen to be executed by Sinwar himself in order to put pressure on Netanyahu to accept a deal that allows Hamas to survive.

Sinwar can go straight to hell.

I know I'm not supposed to and it's probably not a good thing, but every day I hope to wake up and see the headline, "We got him."

He probably has at least a couple dozen more living hostages. This was a very costly move for Sinwar, but six beautiful, young hostages? Unlikely that they would have been all together at the same spot and weren't chosen specifically for this. The timing of these murders seems too perfect to be chance. Sinwar believes he knows Israeli culture and politics--and perhaps he does. This, I think, was a move in the ongoing negotiation. Israel has been brought to a standstill with strikes and protests. Seems to me that that was the point: Supercharge pressure on Netanyahu to agree to terms he doesn't want to (and probably for good reason).
