reference news reported on september 14according to afp on september 13, an israeli military spokesman told a group of foreign journalists in rafah, the war-torn gaza strip, that the israeli military hopes to use "all means" to bring the hostages (whether alive or dead) still held in the gaza strip back to israel.
the hostages "are all in gaza, being held by hamas in brutal conditions, like this tunnel," said daniel hajari at the entrance to the tunnel that led to the underground passage where the israeli military said the bodies of six hostages were found two weeks ago.
"we must do everything, everything possible, (use) all means to bring them home," hagari added, according to the report. he said this during a short visit organized for a group of foreign journalists who entered the gaza strip with israeli troops.
international journalists have been unable to travel independently to the bombarded and war-torn palestinian territory because of restrictions imposed by israel since the war broke out more than 11 months ago.
the report mentioned that the announcement of the discovery of the six murdered hostages in early september sparked a wave of grief and anger in israel, with growing criticism accusing prime minister benjamin netanyahu's government of not doing enough to reach a ceasefire agreement with hamas that would have allowed the hostages to be released.
