The discovery of hostages killed in a Gaza tunnel sparked strong reactions on Sunday, with calls for demonstrations and a general strike. While Hamas is being blamed, it is the Israeli Prime Minister’s strategy that is being denounced above all.
Anger and frustration. “Sorry for letting them kill you,” hammered this Sunday, September 1st, Gil Dickmann, in an emotional message posted on Instagram, and addressed posthumously to his cousin Carmen Gat. This 39-year-old woman whose smiling face has been reproduced endlessly on social networks, is one of the six hostages held by Hamas since the attack of October 7th who were found dead under the city of Rafah in Gaza by the Israeli army this weekend. Four men and two women who were reportedly killed by a bullet to the head, “forty-eight to seventy-two hours” before the autopsy that delivered its first results on Sunday. Their bodies were in the same tunnel where another hostage, the Bedouin Kaid Farhan Alkadi, was found and freed a week ago. Since October 7, this is the largest hostage killing in Gaza. Five other bodies were found in July, but they had actually died since the Hamas attack in southern Israel and their bodies had been taken away in the aftermath.
Hamas’s responsibility has not been lacking
