The families of more than 100 Israelis thought be held captive inside Gaza are growing ever more desperate for information as full-scale war looms.
Saturday — as his parents helplessly tracked his phone entering the Gaza Strip — every room has been filled with friends and family, working to find something, anything, that will give them hope.More than two dozen volunteers had laptops on counters and phones in hand Monday, tapping out messages, working social media, scouring the world for answers they haven’t gotten from official sources.
Some families have already had their worst fears confirmed. Videos reviewed Monday by The Washington Post showed evidence that at least four people in the town of Be’eri wereIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday made a belated appointment to the vacant position of commissioner for prisoners and missing persons, responsible for building relationships with local and international negotiators. He selected Gal Hirsch, a reservist brigadier general, to fill the post.
“This is unprecedented. We’ve never had so many people taken and held in a hostile territory,” said Gershon Baskin, Israel’s back-channel negotiator in the Shalit case. “It’s a new reality, and it’s difficult to measure how society will respond to this.”Among the challenges, Baskin said, is the ability of Hamas to hide captives throughout the 140-square-mile enclave, which is densely populated and includes extensive subterranean networks.
“There is no mass rescue opportunity because there is no way Hamas will keep them all together,” he said. “I think the Israeli public, from the far left to the far right, feels that the price of coexistence with Hamas is intolerable,” Orbach said.
