Hamas' armed wing said on Monday it will begin executing an Israeli civilian captive in return for any new Israeli bombing of civilian houses without pre-warning.
Abu Obaida, spokesperson for Hamas' armed wing, the IQB, said they have been acting in accordance with Islamic instructions by keeping Israeli captives safe.
He blamed the intended move on Israel's stepped-up bombing and killing of civilians inside their homes in air strikes without warning them.
'We have decided to put an end to this and as of now, we declare that any targeting of our people in their homes without prior warning will be regrettably faced with the execution of one the hostages of civilians we are holding,' he said.
Gaza City has been devastated by airstrikes today in response to the surprise attack launched by Hamas on Saturday.
Israel today ordered a 'complete siege' of the city, cutting off electricity, fuel and food for the Gaza Strip's 2.3 million people.
n a video statement Monday, Israel's foreign minister warned Hamas against harming any of the hostages who were taken from Israel and being held in Gaza.
Eli Cohen said Israel was committed to bringing the hostages home 'in the spirit of mutual responsibility.'

I will bet $10 to your $1, that USA has no balls to bomb Qatar.
I hate to say it you all but Hamas has Israel by the nuts this time.
This is war, not a police action.
The government of Israel have to act as if the hostages are already dead. To give in just lays the ground work for them to do it again, and again and so on.
Israel is mobilizing 300,000 reservist. When the order to enter Gaza is given Israelis are going to die but so is Hamas.
Israel is not responsible for the death of any hostages, Hamas is.
Jotato incentivized hostage taking!
You mean just like we destroyed communism in Korea and Vietnam, or Taliban in Afghanistan, or ISIS in Iraq?
Tell Hamas that that stupid dome will be blown up the first time they carry out their threat.

In the fog of war there probably little difference between an Israeli killed by Hamas’s initial attack and an Israeli hostage killed by Hamas.
The media tries to spin that there is a difference as they contend Israel is only allowed a ‘proportional response’.
So Red Cross gets blown up?
Excuse me, head of the Hamas serpent is not in Gaza, it is in Qatar.
The problem here is Hamas attack was so blatant so barbaric here so well published that there is no return to the status quo.
The hostages are dead. It past time people stop clinging to denial. This is what real war looks like. The old rule book where people waged proxy war on Israel relying on the US put the lease on Israel is gone after Saturday.
It’s also an HQ for US Central Command and other foreign forces.
Total War has it’s risks. Generals make the decisions not politicians as long as that’s the case.
The Old Testament is beginning to make sense.
Well one thing that should be doable for Israel, would be to cut Gaza and West Bank from all cell phone and internet connectivity.

These are evil monsters. They murdered Grandmothers and then carried the family off, laughing. They raped young women, then carried them off, blood coming from between their legs. These scenes were photographed and proudly displayed online. They are proud of these actions, they care nothing for these lives.
I thought Hamas was aligned with the MB and Egypt. Hezzbollah is Iran.
Time will tell.
“The hostages are alive because they learned from the best being Iran to keep them alive. We could not bomb Iran as long as our people were there, so we got Saddam to do it then played innocent.
Israel does not have this option. They bomb and they kill their own people then Hamas says Israel did it and they would be correct.
I hate to say it you all but Hamas has Israel by the nuts this time. “
There is another option:
Consider it a war. A war wherein the enemy lives under no rules, and the people support that (cheer in the streets). The hostages are already dead, IMHO. Hamas and its ‘supporters’ will taunt, torture, rape, and murder and nothing will stop that.
Then consider Gen Sherman words, let there be cruelty. The 2 million people of the West Bank should travel quickly to friendly Arab counties, like Iran. Everybody left in the West Bank is dead or a target after 14 days warning. Destroy every building, bulldoze everything, poor salt into the soil.
Think Romans and Carthage. Military bases only on Gaza, no civilians ever.
It’s now officially a race to the bottom, and the Palestinians with Hamas have set an example. I don’t care, I see no innocent on the West Bank, does the World?
Yep because they are obvious a false flag. Red Cross does not operate in Gaza
qatar is not a neutral party
No, they don’t. Every rational analysis of this is that the hostages are essentially appear dead and can’t survive this. It may have worked had they not raped and tortured the captives. Then they could have quickly released photos of them being well treated.
But the way they acted has most people convinced they are already dead.
But their announcement does reveal that the bombing is hurting them already.
