    So is it okay to propose that hamas could have a success if they captured the same amount?

      No israel would still kill all the hostages held by Hamas. Their government doesn’t care about hostages.

            Hamas knows that the israeli government will try their best to kill all israeli hostages

            That is unlikely as there is no record of that directive being (allegedly) invoked after 2016 towards civillians.

            But they hoped the israeli populace would pressure their government harder

            Pressure their government harder to do what exactly?

              The video I linked has evidence of multiple instances that israeli generals and soldiers were given the Hannibal directive this time.

              Please watch it

                Me watching it has nothing to do with my questions above. Please read them properly.

                Unless what you propose is that hamas watched that video, got back in time with the knowledge that “this time Israel will do such a thing” and attacked…

                  Hamas tried a peaceful demonstration in 2018 and then got brutally slaughtered by israel so now they’re asking less nicely.

                    I think calling that demonstration peaceful is at least a simplification but let’s forget that.

                    “Asking less nicely” you say. But I don’t see proofs of that really being the purpose of hamas actions. Asking in a way that would not lead to further deaths of your own people should have been the way.

                    Yet they were building rockets instead of defenses all this time. If they couldnt eradicate all that they needed/wanted (the whole Israel I guess) why even start something like the October 7 attack?
