Gazans and the hostages

I had wondered about the autistic girl taken hostage. Now we know she is dead, along with her grandmother.

Part of the problem of getting the Israeli and American hostages back will be that it was not just the terrorist groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad who took hostages from Israel. It was also Gazan citizens.

From The Washington Post ...

Gazan civilians also took hostages on their own, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, citing a senior Hamas official and Egyptian officials.

The more I learn, the sicker I feel.
