Should Israel attempt to save hostages by force despite Hamas threats?
The IDF successfully located and returned the bodies of three hostages—Judy Weinstein-Chagai, Gadi Chagai and Thai worker Natapang Pinta—who were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists during the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre. In parallel, Hamas escalated its psychological warfare, threatening to execute 25-year-old Matan Zangalkar, a living hostage believed to be held in Gaza, if Israel launched a rescue operation. JNS CEO and Jerusalem Bureau Chief Alex Traiman and Middle East Correspondent Josh Hasten analyze the IDF’s intelligence breakthroughs, the calculated cruelty of Hamas’s threats and the impossible decisions facing Israeli commanders as they balance rescue efforts with operational risks.
