Description

Dr Krieg said: "It will be an extremely messy operation. And high risk. Which means there’s not much they can do to prepare. But Hamas were able to prepare for this and plan for this. Saturday's attack was all about luring the Israelis into a ground offensive. But in #Gaza there will be a lot of civilians who will be used as human shields."

"It will be very hard to figure out where they are because it seemed the hostage taking was done autonomously by the different militias. It also might not have been militias, could have civilians is taking their own hostages."

"I suspect the hostages will be used as human shields, to limit Israeli operations. The hostages are a key bargaining tool. #Hamas won’t want to give them up."
