“The reason is that they are probably underground because Hamas is planning this attack and they are planning to take these hostages. Logically, they would have planned a place in advance to hide these hostages from Israeli intelligence,” Conricus said.
He said the hostage situation was very sensitive and complicated. Although Israel has some experience with hostage situations, Conricus acknowledges that Israel has never dealt with anything like this before.
When asked if an Israeli ground attack was imminent? Conricus said. He would not reveal Israel’s agenda or intentions. “It’s clear and understandable that the entire military capabilities of Hamas must be wiped off the map. How will that happen? By what method? What strategy are you using? It’s just in the next few days. Or maybe longer.”

The clip was taken from a distance. It shows a woman and child from behind with a group of men believed to be Hamas fighters. Escape by leaving the hostages in the open near the fence. It could be the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip.
