Hamas blames Israeli airstrikes for death of six hostages in Gaza (www.middleeastmonitor.com)

submitted 2 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

64 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Izzat al-Rishq’s remarks came shortly after the Israeli army announced that it had discovered the bodies of six hostages in Gaza, asserting that they had been killed by Hamas.

“The ones who kill our people daily are the Israeli colonizers with American weapons. The hostages found in Gaza were not killed by us but by the relentless Zionist bombardment,” Rishq said in a statement.

He further criticized the U.S., saying, “If President [Joe] Biden truly cares about the lives of Israeli hostages, he should cease his support for this enemy with money and weapons and pressure Israel to end its aggression immediately.”

Makes sense. I was wondering if that was the case. Still sad for the families of those hostages 😢

Weren't the bodies found with multiple gunshots to the head, according to the autopsy?

The Israeli Health Ministry said autopsies determined the hostages were shot at close range and died on Thursday or Friday.

In other articles, the ministry says the autopsy revealed gunshot wounds to the head.

Didn't hear head, did hear gun shot wounds in the news report I just heard about the general strike against the war in Israel. Sounds like a lot of people there blame netanyahu for the hostage's death

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I read earlier this morning that the autopsy revealed multiple headshot wounds that were obviously fatal. I agree with you on the last part-- I saw an interview last night with the brother of one of the victims and he was quite critical of Netanyahu, pretty much saying it's entirely his fault.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Could you link the report? I haven't seen anyone except the IDF making claims about their cause of death so far.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/09/01/bodies-discovered-underground-gaza-claims-israel/

I don't have any official report but most media outlets' sources all claim the hostages were shot in the head.

Edit: Here since you guys are fucking babies and can't be bothered to look up news articles but somehow can be bothered to cry when someone posts a source you don't like, have a PBS link

Now I'll wait for someone to cry about that link too because it's "funded by the Biden administration" or some garbage. I swear you people are like the online equivalent of a grown ass man who can't cook but is also a picky eater.

Telegraph

Not a right wing 40 beheaded babies outlet please. It doesn't even cite its sources.

I did a little searching myself and no sources I've seen claim to have confirmed what injuries they have.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sources close to the investigation said the captives had been shot in the head in the southern city of Rafah.

Do you expect a media outlet to name its sources in a situation like this?

Also you're more than welcome to search up the many news articles reporting in on this instead of being a smarmy little weirdo. Israel's ministry of health also confirmed that they were shot in the head, as confirmed in their autopsy. Given the fact that these people have families who will want to see their bodies, I highly doubt Israel is lying about how they were killed.

But yeah, what's with the BS snark? So sick and tired of this Mean Girls garbage on Lemmy, it's so cringy.

I did. They did not claim whatever your Telegraph article says

Also you're more than welcome to search up the many news articles reporting in on this

Haven't seen a credible source reporting it so far

Given the fact that these people have families who will want to see their bodies, I highly doubt Israel is lying about how they were killed.

Israel lied about many deaths on October 7 claiming people they shot with tank shells were "burned alive by Hamas". There's a thing a called a reputation and Israel does not have it. Israel has one mode and it's lying

They lie about the most easily debunkable facts such as who killed Shireen Abu Akleh.

So you believe PBS isn't verifying their sources and it just airing Israel's narrative?

And again, do you seriously believe any sane news outlet is going to out their sources in this context? Why didn't you answer the first time I asked this? You know what you're doing-- you're pulling the Trump tactic of saying "any anonymous source saying something I don't like is lying"

Edit: Downvotes but no replies, so I'm guessing you rubes genuinely think PBS just aired this story with zero vetting/verification. I'm sure Bibi told them to air and it and said "just trust me bro". I'm all for being critical of Israel, Netanyahu, the IDF but some of you have just gone off the deep end. Downvotes but not a single person willing to answer whether or not they think any sane news outlet would out their sources like this.

Of course lmao. We have seen 10 months of airing whatever lie israel comes up with. Especially if they're quoting "anonymous sources".

Mainstream newspapers even help israel in making up propaganda and straight up lie for them. In case you missed it :

“Between the Hammer and the Anvil” - The Story Behind the New York Times October 7 Exposé

Sometimes the IDF information turns out true. Most of the time not. Just await independent results before quoting israel as if they are factual in any way. When Hamas and the IDF provide contradicting information it's not possible to quote one of them as fact.
