[quote=Anonymous]Despite telling the Israeli public that returning the hostages is the IDF’s most important goal of the war, a leaked military document stating the objectives of a planned offensive in Gaza places the Hamas-held captives were of the least importance, Haaretz reports.

The listed priorities were designed for permanent occupation and control of the land and included 1. Defeating Hamas; 2. Operational control over the territory; 3. Demilitarizing the territory; 4. Striking Hamas government targets; 5. Concentrating and moving the population; and then lastly returning the captives.

I think this comes to no ones surprise given that the IDF killed their own hostages (Hannibal Directive), bombed them indiscriminately while captive in Gaza, and is currently allowing them to starve to death along with the native Gaza population. But it's nice to have written confirmation of things we suspect instead of being gaslighted.
