Hamas has killed all their hostages, huh? I mean, why would they still be keeping them? I'm not sure, but I don't think this is exactly the response Hamas was hoping to get. They always talk about just standing up to the bully in stories or whatever fiction, but this whole little slice of history will be another example of the dangers of doing so.
This is exactly the response hamas wanted. World opinion of Israel has gone down, Muslim nations in the area are attacking ships and US troops. It was the same pattern with the US after it squandered the sympathy they got after 9/11. Bad luck for everyone else that Netanyahu needs the bloody war to continue to stay in office and out of court.
Hostages are worth nothing dead, that would make them lose the last tiny bit of leverage they had. But, then again they seem to be operating more on anger than logic so who knows.
Hamas wanted permanent war.
