More than a fifth of the remaining hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza are dead, according to available intelligence collated by the Israeli military.

The confidential internal review, leaked to the New York Times, reportedly concluded that a minimum of 32 of the remaining 136 hostages captured by Hamas have died, with their families being informed.

The fate of a further 20 is also in question, amid unconfirmed intelligence they may also have died during their captivity.

The claims emerged as it was disclosed that the Israeli military has begun investigating dozens of incidents where Israeli soldiers may have broken the IDF’s own rules of conduct or violated international law governing conflict, mostly in incidents involving significant civilian casualties or the destruction of civilian infrastructure.

    All of your sources all seem to quote the same Israeli statements put out by IDF reps, it is as if you willingly ignored the guy you are replying to and what they were highlighting by providing more of the same.
