Report: Hamas contacting Gaza groups to check state of hostages ahead of possible deal
[IsraelTimes] London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reports that Hamas has begun efforts to check the status of hostages held by other terror groups in Gaza, as it expects potential movement on a hostage and ceasefire deal with Israel.

Palestinian sources cited by the paper say Hamas officials have contacted other groups to receive updates on the condition of hostages they hold.

Israel says 100 hostages remain in Gaza, alive and dead. Reports have indicated that some half are believed to be alive.

#1 The headline states it all w/o meaning to.
Gaza residents are an extended arm of Hamas.
So besides children and babies, all can be assumed to part of Hamas' deeds.

#2 So half alive would be the estimate of people wanting the deal. Seems like this will end up like Abraham’s negotiation before Sodom’s destruction.

#3 As in, they didn't actually know who was alive.
