The Israeli army has intensified efforts to track down hundreds of civilians taken hostage by Hamas at the onset of an ongoing war. IDF aircraft dropped leaflets on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday assuring Palestinians of financial rewards and a ‘better future’ for their children in lieu of information.
“If your will is to live in peace and to have a better future for your children, do the humanitarian deed immediately and share verified and valuable information about hostages being held in your area," the IDF said. The Israeli military said it would ‘invest maximum effort’ in providing such residents with security for themselves and their homes. It also promised ‘complete confidentiality’ and a financial reward for those coming forward with relevant information.

Anyone sharing any information better include immediate relocation from Gaza, as their life will be forfeit very shortly.
I applaud the Israelis for doing this - but I’m not sure it’ll be successful.
Many Gaza residents like Hamas and won’t rat ‘em out to the Israelis.
The few who’d considering doing it are too afraid of what will happen to them if Hamas finds out.
Most would probably be afraid to help the Israelis, but the fact that the leaflets are being dropped will have Hamas looking sideways at their own people wondering who might betray them for cash, which cant help their focus or confidence. Its as good a psyop as it is a real intel gathering op.
A rat is lower than the enemy.

Arab picking up leaflet about hostages:
كنت دائما أريد أن أتعلم القراءة. بعد فوات الأوان.

I always wanted to learn to read. Too late.
This World War II leaflet message was one of the several “LeMay Leaflets” and gave the enemy a chance.
Primary Source: Leaflet Dropped Over Japan (1945)
[PRIMARY SOURCE translation]
America asks that you take immediate heed of what we say on this leaflet. We
are in possession of the most destructive explosive ever devised by man. A
single one of our newly developed atomic bombs is actually the equivalent in
explosive power to what 2,000 of our giant B-29’s can carry on a single
mission. This awful fact is one for you to ponder and we solemnly assure you
it is grimly accurate. We have just begun to use this weapon against your
homeland.
If you still have any doubt, make inquiry as to what happened to Hiroshima
when just one atomic bomb fell on that city.
Before using this bomb to destroy every resource of the military by which they
are prolonging this useless war, we ask that you now petition the Emperor to
end the war. Our President has outlined for you the thirteen consequences of
an honorable surrender: We urge that you accept these consequences and
begin the work of building a new, better, and peace-loving Japan.
You should take steps now to cease military resistance. Otherwise, we shall
resolutely employ this bomb and all our other superior weapons to promptly
and forcefully end the war.
EVACUATE YOUR CITIES
ATTENTION JAPANESE PEOPLE
EVACUATE YOUR CITIES
The Red Cross 50 hostage negotiations must not have been real.
What you expect from Terrorists.
“I applaud the Israelis for doing this...”
Absolutely.
“...but I’m not sure it’ll be successful.”
If it results in the rescue and freedom of at least some of the hostages, it will be worth it.
Since it has been reported that Iran gave Hamas terrorists $10,000 and an apartment for each hostage they captured, Israel is going to have to step things up in the reimbursement department.
Probably some Christians in Gaza (still) and they might be receptive. The Muslims, not so much...
I was wondering if the majority know how to read.
The IQ, there, is pretty low.
“Snitches get Stitches”
(In USA ghettoes)...
I pray hat enough find way out to identify where hostages are (if still alive).
Israel will find a way to eliminate Hamas leaders in Gaza.
We have much to do inside DC. Looks like new Speaker of the House is going to lead the charge against the Corruption in DC and the Swamp.
Margins in House are small but the RINO’s are targets for replacement.
Typical war-avoiding nonsense.
They want a better future, all right.
It's just that their vision of a better future is different from Israel's - quite a bit different - and they are willing to kill and die for it.
Is Israel?
I think the adjective IMMEDIATE is implied about the ‘future’.
