Israel believes that 137 hostages remain in Gaza, though many may have been transferred to the custody of other armed groups
A senior Hamas leader claims to not know how many hostages are still held by the group, saying that the tally is “not so important.”
Ghazi Hamad, a top figure in Hamas’ political wing, pleaded ignorance during an interview with CBS News that aired on Thursday, when the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas still stood and more hostages were in the process of being released.
It feels like they’re saying they don’t know who made it through the bombing.
