FROM NEW YORK POST: Hamas ominously released what it called a “parting image” Saturday of the remaining 48 Israelis being held captive in Gaza, as the Jewish state’s ground troops prepare to close in on Gaza City.
The image is a compilation of the faces of the captives, with the name Ron Arad inscribed below each one.
Arad was an Israeli air force pilot who went missing during a 1986 bombing mission in southern Lebanon, who is believed to have been captured and since died. He is still officially classified as missing.
“Because of Netanyahu’s refusal, and Zamir’s capitulation, a parting image as the military operation in Gaza City begins,” reads the text above the twisted propaganda image.
“The operation in Gaza City will be met with fierce resistance, and the death and destruction that the enemy tries to bring to Gaza’s streets will befall its soldiers,” said Hamas senior official Bassem Naim, according to the Times of Israel.
“Those who harm us during the operation in Gaza City will also harm the hostages, living and dead.”
