Many are very likely alive. Israel has swapped prisoners with terror groups before. This will create a huge dilemma for Israel as Hamas will want high level terror leaders in exchange for civilians.
There is no dilemma... Exchanging prisoners is the reason why they’re in this mess... Many of HAMAS’s leaders were formerly their prisoners and letting them loose was a fundamental error... One that they should never make again.
Exchanging 100 evil murders to get one good Jew isn’t worth the price... That practice needs to come to an end, and that one good Jew will understand.
As for the ‘captives’... Every time the Israeli’s cleanout a rat hole they’ll be finding dead hostages... A careful examination of how long they’ve been dead should be undertaken... Because most were likely killed on the day they were captured.
Do you really think that these evil psychopaths are ‘feeding’ these captives or supplying them with much needed insulin and medicine, etc.??? They aren’t.
