The IDF doesn’t, but the Israeli public clearly does, hence the OP. I elaborated in my replies to the other person, but long story short: The hostages are the nucleus of the anti-war faction of Israeli politics; if not for the hostages, such opposition to Netanyahu’s escalation would simply not exist. Given that the cost was basically trivial, I would call it a really smart decision.
The IDF has clearly given zero shits as to whether or not they’re killing hostages with their indiscriminate murder.
