The body of a third Hamas hostage has been found

The New Neo Posted on by

The source of the story is the Tanzanian government:

Eynat Shlein, deputy director general of MASHAV, Israel’s international development cooperation agency, confirmed the death of 22-year-old Clemence Felix Mtenga, one of two of [Tanzania’s] citizens abducted by the terrorists during their invasion of Israel and slaughter of 1,200 others.

More than 240 people, citizens of Israel and at least 25 other nations, were taken hostage by Hamas.

The second Tanzanian citizen — a fellow student — taken hostage that day was Joshua Mollel, whose current whereabout and condition remain unknown.

Both Mtenga and Mollel were in Israel to study agriculture, and were participating in an 11-month agricultural internship program, according to Israel’s foreign ministry.

That is extraordinary: 25 countries plus Israel. Also, some of the hostages are Israeli Arabs, as are some of the dead.

Israel isn’t giving details about the death of Mtenga, and perhaps we will never learn them. But it seems pretty clear that his body was found in Gaza, perhaps – as with the two other dead hostages – near Shifa hospital.

One of the things that has also become clear is that Hamas doesn’t have all the hostages. Some of the kidnappers are members of other groups such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad, said to hold about 30. Some of the kidnappers seem to be what you might call free-lancers, number unknown.

That article I just linked gives a breakdown of the countries from which the hostages come. I knew there were many Thais, but the number is extraordinary, about 22%:

According to the Israeli government, 138 of the hostages have foreign passports, including 54 Thais, 15 Argentinians, 12 Germans, 12 Americans, six French, and six Russians. There is also one Chinese hostage, one Sri Lankan, two from Tanzania, and two from the Philippines.

It goes without saying that we simply don’t know how many hostages are still alive, or where they are being held, or whether they will ever be freed. It is heartbreaking and outrageous, as well as evil.

The body of a third Hamas hostage has been found — 32 Comments

  1. Evil hands abound in Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, etc.
    What is the common thread? Islam, with its Paradise, where each jihadi is guaranteed many virgins to rape.

  2. The West has lost its spine. And not that long ago. The Fat Electrician (a former Army medic) shows what the US used to do when it came to “proportional” responses, a la Iran, 1988: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5v6hlRyeHE

    And I don’t recall much of a peep from the peanut gallery of nations who now seem to hold the sword of Damocles over every Western decision.

  3. No prison sentences for terrorists. All ammo fired from guns cleaned with gun oil that contains pig fat.
    Fair trial for captured terrorists and immediately following conviction, execute every jihadist in an “unclean” manner. Then bury them with pig feces. By their own beliefs, deny them entrance into ‘paradise’.

    Remove the incentive.

  5. The fact there are hostages from 25 countries needs to be mentioned more. The Israeli Ambassador to the UN, the US and other countries should do that every day.

  7. Seen in a meme, “If Israel didn’t care about civilians, this war would have been over on October 8th.”

  8. May God have mercy on Pappe.

    Regarding porcine punishment for Hamashites; I seriously doubt that a doped up murderous Jew- hating monster cares one bit about infidel actions. I would strongly suspect that the Koran, the Haditha, and its Imams have many weasle ways around “lardy, lardy, lardy, no virgins for you.”

  9. Bill K, thanks for that link to the Fat Electrician.

    Remember that the Gipper was POTUS at the time. He cared about oil prices and inflation. Unlike Inflationary Joe.

  10. @ Bill K – that mem reminds me of some I saw regarding the people making really vicious claims about our President-in-exile.
    “If Trump were really “Hitler” you would be dead. You aren’t, and he isn’t.”

  11. One has to assume and bodies of hostages found in Gaza were murdered
    Still wondering if there are lists yet of missing and assumed to be hostages.

  13. Abu Mazen in finest of fine form!
    “Palestinian Authority denies massacre, blames Israel for deaths;
    “An official notice from the PA claims that Israeli aircraft attacked the Supernova festival to prevent prisoners from being moved to Gaza.”—
    https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/380573

    The problem is that Abu Mazen’s being eclipsed by Hamas (and events, dear boy) and he ABSOLUTELY MUST KEEP UP appearances.

    (Heh, for this brilliant piece of agit-prop, “Biden” should really give him at least another 100 million dollars, at least. He’s worth every penny!)

  15. Abu Mazen, wrote his thesis at Moscow State, go Bears, on Holocaust minimism, was that before he passed the hat for Munich I’m unclear

  16. I don’t know if thats the mascot of Moscow State, but it might as well be,

    meshaal is a graduate of kuwait university, where as Haniyeh who could have been the inspiration for one of the minor thugs in the opening to Iron Man, was a local boy Islamic University of Gaza, which produced its first female shaheed in 03

  17. I read an article in Ha’Arets that was interesting and distressing. Now I take anything in HaArets with the same grains of salt that I take anything in WaPo or the NYT. So make of it what you will.

    The upshot is that most of the observers — the people who monitor the cameras for the IDF — are primarily work and pretty junior. So their earnings were basically tut-tutted. They saw unusual activity and reported it up. And it wasn’t take seriously. Because they’re junior and they’re women.

    This link may take you to a translated version of the article. I hope.

  19. Well now, Bab al Mandab isn’t being policed by China we notice, while Iran, China’s lovely client state, flips international shipping the bird. Hey, Egypt! Suck it up, powderpuff!

  20. well Xi had sent an inspection tour in the last few weeks, first in the red sea, and the near the entry to the Persial Gulf,

  22. Someone:
    They weren’t ignored because they were junior – Israel is a conscription army, the whole IDF skews young.

    They were ignored because the evidence didn’t fit the conceptual framework of the generals – stuck in the delusion that Oslo turned the wolf into a lamb.

    An old-style pogrom in the New Middle East? Unthinkable!

  23. cue vizzini, of course, you can just imagine the outrage if netanyahu had struck those formations,

  28. Well, progress of a sort, I guess.
    (AKA, “Your tax dollars at work!”)

    “Iran unveils new hypersonic ballistic missile”—
    https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/380603

    Somewhere, “Biden” dances a (metaphorical) jig….
    – – – – – – –
    “…stuck in the delusion that Oslo turned the wolf into a lamb.”

    Well, yes and no.
    I would say that the delusion of Oslo was “upgraded”, after being pounded into dust by “events, into the delusion—heavily promoted by “Biden”, actually FORCED by “him”—to make Israel acquiesce to the opening up of jobs to Gazans (you know, the old “if their economic condition improves, the prospects for peace MUST get better)…this in order to support Bibi’s overture to Saudi Arabia.

  31. Someone else.

    As a matter of human factors: The observers were tasked with observing and reporting things they saw–however that was accomplished–which might have meant danger coming.

    The problem is that lots of stuff happens which is meaningless but the ardent observer isn’t going to let that go unreported. Besides, nothing else has happened this shift….And it might mean something to Higher.Pieces of a puzzle, so to speak, and maybe somebody else has other pieces and…somebody else has yet more pieces and….got to get this stuff in to Higher.
    So, unless there’s a positive control to keep out the ordinary facts of life across the border, it’s possible that some of this stuff got drowned in more of the usual. Which, since it was mostly The Usual, was left unchecked by Higher on account of earlier encounters with piles of The usual.

    But reporting a practice assault on an observation tower gets NOTHING!?
