Under a rug in Gazan home, IDF troops found shaft leading to bodies of 4 hostages

[IsraelTimes] The Times of Israel joins paratroopers fighting in the heart of Jabaliya’s refugee camp, where a determined officer made a sad but profound discovery — days before he was killed.

Three drones patrolled overhead in languid circles. A smaller quadcopter took off buzzily from a four-story structure, which a Hamas commander had called home until Paratrooper Battalion 202 stormed into the Jabaliya refugee camp two weeks ago.

Now, Lt. Col. Almog Rotem uses the building in the northern Gaza Strip as a temporary command post, as his forces continue to drive toward the sea, flushing out organized Hamas resistance.

Across a narrow alley — now strewn with pieces of concrete and metal, clothing, and the detritus of urban combat — sits a smaller home with a jagged hole blasted into one side. Inside, a small child’s bike and a wheelchair lie crumpled amid the cinder blocks.

A family had lived in that home until they cleared out ahead of the Israeli paratroopers’ arrival. But amid the furniture and children’s toys, the house had contained a gruesome secret.

Last Thursday, the bodies of four Israeli hostages kidnapped on October 7– Itzhak Gelerenter, Amit Buskila, Ron Benjamin and Shani Louk – were discovered by Israel Defense Forces troops in a tunnel dug under that very home.

Long. An embedded reporter reports, including this tidbit:

Dozens of Hamas fighters were killed by Rotem’s troops, among 400 eliminated by the division in Jabaliya.

File under: Hamas

#1 "days before he was killed."

The way Israel prosecutes this war may be a good deed, in that it spares enemy civilians to the utmost extent possible.

But this good deed costs Israeli blood, and it is a good deed that is being punished and will be punished more.

This applies to the US & NATO, respectively, as well.

#2 And that is what happened to poor shani louk, whose young broken semi-naked body was paraded around gaza filmed on tge mobile phones of swarms of allahu akbars as they spat on her

Then her head was cut off and left somewhere else (found months ago) and her body taken down this tunnel by some lovely arab muslims of gaza

Resettle them ALL in egypt, Jordan, iraq and qatar

Kill all the hamas

Exit the UN

No more migration to the west.

#3 Muzzizm is incompatible with the vast majority of societies on the planet. Relocation of them off world must be seriously considered.

/\ "Incompatibility"

Yes, it's a cultural thing. I have no business in the Amazon. They have no business coming here. Violation of "Intelligent Design" or some damn thing.

The evidence appears to be overwhelming. "Multiculturalism" is a lie from hell.

#6 I think the Iranians who resettled her did all right. It has more to do with WHY a person comes here.

America does not ask you to lose your heritage, only to reject those values that are un-American, the reason you came here to begin with. Greed is not an American value. In order for it all to work the country has to remain a predominant judo-Christian culture and majority Americans a people of faith. Anything else won’t work. That is the current problem. And we have been sleeping behind the wheel for too long.

#7 the Iranians who resettled her did all right.

Some, yes. Others are — ore were later blackmailed to become — fifth columnists supporting the Mad Mullah regime from behind American lines.

#8 Any person can be blackmailed, especially if threats are too family as is common in totalitarian regimes (and the DOJ), to do wrong things. The question is did they become part of the system or seek to disrupt it, as they do in MI now. I would argue they assimilated, for the most part, adapting the more “bad” parts of Islam to be compatible with Americanism.

I’m not saying this without some skepticism. An additional problem seems to be if you pack too many in an area. They kind of fall into a group think. Islam, by its nature, is not compatible with a free society. There is no moderate Muslim. You either are or, if you bend the “rules” your not. So there is way more peer pressure to conform totally than on Christianity or Judaism, which both outline the importance of community but, generally, exert less peer pressure on an individuals strength of faith and its practice.

Maybe I’m all wrong.
