Forces had no direct confrontation with Hamas terrorists who killed hostages; ‘The IDF and security forces are doing everything possible to bring all hostages home as quickly as possible. This news shakes us all,’ says army spokesperson Hagari

Israeli forces discovered the bodies of six hostages in a 65-foot-deep tunnel in Rafah, approximately a kilometer from where hostage Farhan Alkadi was recently freed. The IDF had no precise intelligence on the hostages’ location in recent months but knew there were captives in the sector, leading to a gradual and cautious operation in Rafah since the ground offensive began.

    The US knew that a major attack was being planned by bin laden months before 9/11. Bush, purposefully or ignorantly, ignored or minimized these warnings directly leading to the attack.

      There’s also the aspect of it where the US funded and trained bin Laden prior to the attack because he was useful to us in the 80’s.

    • And the US warned Russia of the Moscow Attack

      Does that mean that the US/Russia is responsible for the Terror attack against them?

      Please don’t talk around it. “I think that yes/no [because …]”

      Because I think that Terror Attacks are always the fault of the Terrorists killing people

      The same way I think that incidents of rape are always the fault of the rapist and never the victim.

        If you have explicit knowledge that can save peoples lives and you choose not to act on it then yes you’re directly responsible for that loss of life.
