Hamas terrorists have kidnapped 100 to 150 people to secret hideouts in the Gaza Strip. They serve as a negotiating chip and are intended to extract concessions. Austrians are probably among them. Terrorism experts see a precarious situation: Israel, planning a ground offensive, faces difficult negotiations – or bloody battles.
Children, seniors, women, men, Israelis and foreigners: the Hamas terrorists, who kidnapped visitors to a music festival, among others, kidnapped their victims at random. They are now being held captive in the terrorists’ tunnels as human shields and bargaining chips. Hamas’s threats to execute the hostages in response to Israeli airstrikes have not yet been carried out. But the situation is delicate, terrorism experts warn.
