Izzat al-Rishq’s remarks came shortly after the Israeli army announced that it had discovered the bodies of six hostages in Gaza, asserting that they had been killed by Hamas.
“The ones who kill our people daily are the Israeli colonizers with American weapons. The hostages found in Gaza were not killed by us but by the relentless Zionist bombardment,” Rishq said in a statement.
He further criticized the U.S., saying, “If President [Joe] Biden truly cares about the lives of Israeli hostages, he should cease his support for this enemy with money and weapons and pressure Israel to end its aggression immediately.”
Weren’t the bodies found with multiple gunshots to the head, according to the autopsy?
Didn’t hear head, did hear gun shot wounds in the news report I just heard about the general strike against the war in Israel. Sounds like a lot of people there blame netanyahu for the hostage’s death
I read earlier this morning that the autopsy revealed multiple headshot wounds that were obviously fatal. I agree with you on the last part-- I saw an interview last night with the brother of one of the victims and he was quite critical of Netanyahu, pretty much saying it’s entirely his fault.
Could you link the report? I haven’t seen anyone except the IDF making claims about their cause of death so far.

I don’t have any official report but most media outlets’ sources all claim the hostages were shot in the head.
Not a right wing 40 beheaded babies outlet please. It doesn’t even cite its sources.
I did a little searching myself and no sources I’ve seen claim to have confirmed what injuries they have.
Do you expect a media outlet to name its sources in a situation like this?
Also you’re more than welcome to search up the many news articles reporting in on this instead of being a smarmy little weirdo. Israel’s ministry of health also confirmed that they were shot in the head, as confirmed in their autopsy. Given the fact that these people have families who will want to see their bodies, I highly doubt Israel is lying about how they were killed.
But yeah, what’s with the BS snark? So sick and tired of this Mean Girls garbage on Lemmy, it’s so cringy.
I did. They did not claim whatever your Telegraph article says
Haven’t seen a credible source reporting it so far
Israel lied about many deaths on October 7 claiming people they shot with tank shells were “burned alive by Hamas”. There’s a thing a called a reputation and Israel does not have it. Israel has one mode and it’s lying
They lie about the most easily debunkable facts such as who killed Shireen Abu Akleh.
So you believe PBS isn’t verifying their sources and it just airing Israel’s narrative?
And again, do you seriously believe any sane news outlet is going to out their sources in this context? Why didn’t you answer the first time I asked this? You know what you’re doing-- you’re pulling the Trump tactic of saying "any anonymous source saying something I don’t like is lying"
