Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

On 28 October, reports emerged that the Israeli forces entered the Gaza Strip after intense strikes with artillery and missiles fired from warplanes.
On 28 October, Yahya Sinwar, leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, proposed that hostages be exchanged for Hamas members in Israeli prisons.

They might be a bit anxious about getting what they wanted out of their hostage taking efforts.

And because Hamas leaders don't want to find their entire families (regardless of which country they are in) delivered to them in small pieces, just before they get a serving of Novichok themselves.

Eh, I don't think FSB could do anything to them that Mosad wouldn't...

The Mossad will hunt and kill them, the FSB will start with their families.

Sure, but the FSB isn’t currently out for blood vis a vis Hamas, while Mossad is.

Really depends on how "friendly" these hostages are.
