Let's take a look at Hamas' nonsensical claims that hostages are being held by other terror groups and therefore cannot be returned. It's nothing more than a ploy. Hamas' psychological warfare: The 'separation and deception' method in kidnappings Hamas is attempting to manipulate the current fragile situation and portray kidnapped individuals as being in the hands of other factions in the Gaza Strip. https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/gaza-news/article-775673 A source within Israeli security agencies has suggested that Hamas is attempting to manipulate the current fragile situation and portray kidnapped individuals as being in the hands of other factions in the Gaza Strip, with the aim of preventing the return of Israeli mothers and infants. "Hamas controls the Gaza Strip. They are the ones responsible for it," the source explained to Walla!, "attempts to shift responsibility and conceal information, as revealed last week when they separated the infant from her mother at the last moment, will not advance negotiations for the release of the kidnapped." Efforts have been made to hold intermediaries accountable According to the source, efforts have been made to hold the intermediaries accountable for the principles that both sides committed to at the beginning of the negotiations. "Otherwise, Hamas will hear renewed gunfire," they warned. The security source also cautioned against disinformation spread by Hamas on social media, describing it as "cunning and ruthless." The source called on the Israeli public "to exercise patience and listen to official information regarding the release of the kidnapped" and explained that "any such distribution only serves Hamas. We must not fall into the trap of the psychological warfare they are trying to wage against Israel and the intermediaries." In addition, IDF spokesperson in Arabic, Avichay Adraee, tweeted on Monday that "Hamas treats some of the kidnapped Israelis [children and infants] as a treasure, and in some situations, they hand them over to other terror organizations in the Gaza Strip." Adraee highlighted the cruelty of the Hamas terrorist organization and cited the Bibas family from Kibbutz Nir Oz as an example: "The infants with red hair, the 'Gingers,' were kidnapped in the Nir Oz area by one of Hamas's operatives and are currently held in the Khan Yunis region by one of the Palestinian factions."

So you believe Ritter's bio rather than all the public information about him? The guy makes many claims in his bio which have been proven to not be true.
Now Hamas switched to claiming these hostages are dead due to an Israeli airstrike. Well, if they are dead then it is time for Hamas to turn over the bodies. Israel assessing Hamas claim that the youngest hostage and family members are no longer alive https://www.cnn.com/middleeast/live...s-11-29-23/h_f8721dbf93ccd2b1da4723e162661cba The Israel Defense Forces said Wednesday it was assessing a Hamas claim that the youngest Israeli hostage, 10-month-old Kfir Bibas, his brother and his mother are no longer alive. The armed wing of Hamas said earlier on Wednesday, without providing evidence, that Kfir, his four-year-old brother Ariel, and their mother Shiri, were killed in an Israeli airstrike. The armed wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, said they had been killed in earlier Israeli bombing. The IDF responded with a statement saying they were “assessing the accuracy of the information.” The military said they had spoken to relatives of the Bibas family, and “are with them at this difficult time.” “Hamas is wholly responsible for the security of all hostages in the Gaza Strip. Hamas must be held accountable. Hamas’ actions continue to endanger the hostages, which include nine children. Hamas must immediately release our hostages,” the IDF said. The Bibas family released a statement, saying: “Our family has learned of Hamas' latest claims. We are waiting for the information to be confirmed and hopefully refuted by military officials. We thank the people of Israel for their warm support, but kindly request privacy during this difficult time." A cousin of Shiri Bibas, Jimmy Miller, said in an interview with Israel’s Channel 12 that "Hamas need to return them back to us alive," adding, "We don’t care if they transferred them to someone else, or to another entity, they are the exclusive responsible to bring them back to us alive and well." Minutes after the Hamas claim emerged, a senior Israeli official who was holding a briefing at the time said “I hope it’s not true,” and “We have no indication they’re murdered.” IDF chief spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said earlier in the week that the IDF did not believe the boys and their mother were in the hands of Hamas. There has been no Israeli bombing of Gaza since a ceasefire began on Friday morning. Kfir, Ariel and Shiri Bibas, and presumably their father Yarden, were all kidnapped from Nir Oz, an Israeli kibbutz that was devastated when it came under attack by Hamas militants on October 7.
So mere hours after the truce gets extended, Hamas continues their murderous rampage in Israel. This is on top of continuing to fire rockets into Israel during the truce. Hamas terrorists open fire at bus stop near Jerusalem, leaving 3 dead, 11 injured Israel Defense Forces shot and killed the two suspected Hamas terrorists at the Givat Shaul junction https://www.foxnews.com/world/hamas...-near-jerusalem-leaving-3-dead-11-injured-idf
Let's get some first person witness accounts on why Hamas must be eliminated. Horrific new stories of Hamas attacks in Israel surface, including rape of ‘beautiful woman with face of angel’ who screamed to be killed https://nypost.com/2023/12/03/news/...h-face-of-an-angel-who-screamed-to-be-killed/ A “beautiful woman with the face of an angel’’ was raped by eight to 10 Hamas terrorists in Israel on Oct. 7, while another tragic victim was beheaded with a shovel while trying to defend herself, a stricken survivor says. Yoni Saadon, a 39-year-old father of four, told the UK’s Sunday Times that he is still haunted by the horrific scenes he witnessed at the Nova Music festival, when the Hamas fiends slaughtered at least 364 festival-goers, including the gang-raped woman, who begged to be killed. “I saw this beautiful woman with the face of an angel and eight or 10 of the fighters beating and raping her,” recalled Saadon, a foundry shift manager. “She was screaming, ‘Stop it already! I’m going to die anyway from what you are doing, just kill me!’ “When they finished, they were laughing, and the last one shot her in the head,” he said. Saadon said he witnessed the gruesome act after pulling over him the body of a slain woman who had also been shot in the head — and smearing her blood on himself so it looked like he, too, was dead. The terrorists left behind women with bloodied underwear and pelvises broken from the brutal rapes, Israel says. “I will never forget her face,” he said. “Every night I wake to it and apologize to her, saying, ‘I’m sorry.’ “ Saadon said he eventually joined others who had fled the site and hid in trees and bushes. That’s when he witnessed two more Hamas gunmen attack another young woman who was resisting being stripped, he said. “They threw her to the ground, and one of the terrorists took a shovel and beheaded her,” Saadon told the UK outlet. “And her head rolled along the ground. I see that head, too.” Survivors have said Hamas raped, killed and kidnapped many women at the Nova music festival. Saadon’s story is among the latest testimonies against Hamas accusing the terrorist group of orchestrating mass rapes during the Oct. 7 attack that left more than 1,200 dead in Israel. Hamas has denied the allegations of sexual violence, although Israel Defense Forces sources claim that captured terrorists have said they were ordered to “dirty” or “whore” the women, according to the outlet. While investigations into the alleged sex assaults were initially hampered by the lack of physical evidence, as rape kits were not used on the survivors and corpses recovered within the first 48 hours, authorities have begun to get a clearer picture of the horrors, including rapes, in recent weeks. Hamas gunmen kidnap German Israeli tattoo artist Shani Louk, who was found beheaded three weeks later. Israeli forensic teams who examined the bodies of the dead said they found multiple signs of rape, torture and other atrocities suffered by the victims. There also have been more than 1,500 heart-wrenching testimonials. “We saw many women with bloody underwear, with broken bones, broken legs, broken pelvises,” a volunteer worker named Shari at the Shura military morgue told the Washington Post. Shari, a 60-year-old architect from Jerusalem, said the opening of body bags from the massacre scenes was beyond traumatic. “They were all young women. Most in little clothing or shredded clothing and their bodies bloodied, particularly round their underwear, and some women shot many times in the face as if to mutilate them,” she said. “Their faces were in anguish and often their fingers clenched as they died. “Some bodies we took out had pretty pink or bright purple nails, and we would all pause and at that point many of us broke down,” she said. Officials noted that some of the bodies that arrived at Shura were so badly mutilated that it was impossible to collect evidence of sexual assault. Haim Outmezgine, a senior member of ZAKA rescue services, a volunteer group that has collected the bulk of the dead so they may be buried, said Hamas crimes were evident from the Israelis’ remains. “It was clear they were trying to spread as much horror as they could, to kill, to burn alive, to rape — it seemed their mission was to rape as many as possible,” Outmezgine told the Times of the terrorists. Israeli police are building cases against Hamas terrorists who committed sexual assaults Oct. 7, with the goal of trying the gunmen for rape. Along with the Israeli investigation into the rape claims, the United Nations — after nearly eight weeks of silence — has launched its own inquiry into the sexual violence Hamas is accused of committing. “There are numerous accounts of sexual violence during the abhorrent acts of terror by Hamas on 7 October that must be vigorously investigated and prosecuted,” United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a statement. “Gender-based violence must be condemned. Anytime. Anywhere,” he said. (Article has more pictures)
