Israelis Tell Newsmax: ‘No Chance’ of Rescue Mission for Last 50 Hostages

With nearly all of Israel riveted on the remaining 50 hostages seized by Hamas terrorists in the sneak attack of Oct. 7, 2023, the inevitable question for visitors is whether the military has a secret mission in the works to secure their rescue.

But despite Israel’s storied reputation for successful rescue operations, no such mission is in the works for the 50 held somewhere in Gaza and reportedly facing starvation.

“It’s wishful thinking,” Capt. Adam Ittah of the Israel Defense Force (IDF) told Newsmax flatly, “They have the hostages in different locations and send us pictures of them as if to dare us to try to rescue them.”
