US official warns Hamas will face ‘total annihilation’ if it doesn’t release all hostages after Shiri Bibas’ body wasn’t returned

A US official warned Hamas would face “total annihilation” if all hostages — living and dead — were not returned to Israel as the terror group failed to return the body of slain mother Shiri Bibas on Thursday.

Adam Boehler, President Trump’s special envoy for hostages, issued the stark threat hours after the Israel Defense Forces positively identified the bodies of Bibas’ children, Ariel and Kfir, and hostage Oded Lifshitz — but also received an “anonymous, unidentified body.”

“It’s horrific. It’s a clear violation and if I have one piece of advice for Hamas now, it’s ‘You need to release her body immediately,'” Boehler told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

Boehler called for the immediate release of all hostages including the bodies of four Americans killed during their captivity in the Gaza Strip and Edan Alexander, a New Jersey native believed to be alive.

They should be annihilated anyway.
It is a depraved terrorist organization.

Agreed. And stop giving these savages hundreds of their murderous scum back to replenish their ranks.

It’s easy for me to say, but go scorched earth on all the scum there at the first sign of hostage taking. This will save countless future children and women being taken and tortured. You savages take a hostage then you may as well set off a nuke on Tel Aviv. You truly WILL be “genocided”. Enough of this Muslim bulls#@t.

Non-nuclear. Just several well-placed Massive Ordnance Air-Burst bombs in a pattern across the Gaza Strip, to blow what remains of the rubble to dust. This may require the deployment of C-130 planes in lieu of B-52 bombers.

Also incidentally to bust a lot of the bunkers, or does that require a different kind of ordnance?

Then remind Iran of what REAL muscle means in a military confrontation.

As soon as they saw those coffins paraded in the streets they should have strafed the entire crowd.

I can only hope that we are following/tracking these animals so when the time is right we can eliminate every last one of them.

I bet that they don’t have her body. Ashes maybe. They cremated the remains in order to hide the torture and rapes that surely occurred, and destroy any DNA evidence of it as well so it could not be traced to any HAMAS savages.

Whatever happened to her, we will probably never know, unless there is a witness come forward, which I seriously doubt will ever happen................

The remaining hostages have all been murdered. That’s what yesterday’s spectacle teaches.

Make the rubble bounce then scrape it into the sea.

I don’t much care the inheritance of hamass, their supporters and voters. They have sown the wind and reaped their whirlwind. 100% their fault. How they live on flat dirt is the problem they created and will have to solve themselves.

The little Hamas boys and girls are born and raised into this demonic ideology, trained from early childhood to hate all non-Muslims, so eradicating the current Hamas membership will not solve the long-term problem.
Islam is the problem, but at this point it can only be contained, not eliminated.

Destroying this generation of Hamas and neutralizing Iran will, however, buy the civilized world a good deal of time.

Were the slain hostages “fresh kills” or old kills they simply kept on hand. If fresh we know there should be no negotiating with hamas.

Trump’s deadline of noon February 15 has come and gone without the release of all the hostages. Repeating the threat without action is mental masterbation.

It would only take the emplacement of a computer chip somewhere hidden on the body of important terrorists held by the Israelis to finish the bastards off.

Re: 17 - Agreed that making threats without them being acted on weakens US standing in this matter.
