Hamas Under Fire After Video Reveals Alleged Manipulation of Israeli Hostage Remains in Gaza, Red Cross Claims Staff Were Unaware.

A new video released by Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) shows Hamas militants burying and then uncovering the remains of a deceased Israeli hostage in Gaza, sparking outrage and accusations of manipulation by the Palestinian Islamist group.

The footage, which appears to have been filmed by an IDF drone, captures masked men removing a shrouded body from a building near Gaza City's Shejaiya neighborhood and carrying it into a large pit before burying it. A bulldozer then lifts the body, and three people wearing red ICRC vests arrive at the scene.

However, in a stunning twist, the video shows the men partially uncovering the body again while the ICRC representatives stand by. The Israel Defense Forces claim that this was part of a staged display to create a false impression of efforts to locate the bodies of the deceased hostages.

The Red Cross has issued a statement claiming that its staff were "not able to intervene directly on-site" and were unaware that the human remains shown in the video had been previously staged. The charity stressed that the recovery of human remains is the responsibility of parties under international humanitarian law, and ICRC staff are not involved in retrieval.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has criticized Hamas for its actions, calling it a "clear violation of the agreement" brokered by President Trump to halt the two-year war. The Tzarfati family, whose son was one of the hostages still missing in Gaza, described the incident as an "abhorrent manipulation designed to sabotage the deal and abandon the effort to bring all the hostages home."

The Israeli government has urged the international community to condemn Hamas' actions, claiming that the group is attempting to create a false impression of efforts to locate the bodies of the deceased hostages. However, the Red Cross has refused to take sides in the conflict, instead focusing on its humanitarian work.

As tensions escalate in Gaza, it remains unclear what will happen next to the remaining hostages and their families.
 
This is so messed up 😩 I'm not buying into Israel's claims that Hamas staged this whole thing, but at the same time, if the Red Cross staff didn't know about it, that's on them too 🤔 The fact that they're not taking sides just leaves me wondering who to believe... What really happened to those hostages? This whole situation is just so frustrating 💔
 
Ugh I'm like so upset about this! 🤯 They manipulated the video to make it look like they were working hard to find the dead Israelis but really they just wanted to mess with everyone... 😒 Hamas is such a manipulative organization. The Red Cross should at least try to do some fact-checking before jumping into the situation without knowing what's going on. And can we talk about how messed up it is that there are still people missing? 🤕 My heart goes out to their families, it's just so frustrating when these situations drag on and on... 😩
 
I'M SO FED UP WITH THIS WHOLE THING! IT LOOKS LIKE HAMAS IS TRYING TO PLAY A SICK GAME WITH THE WORLD BY STAGING THIS VIDEO AND MAKING IT LOOK LIKE THEY'RE REALLY TRYING TO FIND THE HOSTAGE REMAINS, BUT REALLY THEY JUST WANT TO MAKE IT LOOK BAD FOR Israel. 🤬 AND NOW THE RED CROSS IS GETTING CROSSED OVER BECAUSE OF THEIR INACTION, IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT! 💔
 
🤔 this whole thing just got super complex i mean, dont get me wrong, its pretty messed up that israel accuses hamas of playing a game with dead bodies but at the same time, id be lying if i said im surprised theres alot of shady stuff goin on here and the red cross claims they didnt even know whats goin on what kinda transparency can you expect from an org like that tho

id rather see both sides try to work out their differences before we jump into judgment mode we dont no whos turn it is in this conflict
 
🤕 this is so messed up... i mean, who manipulates a dead body? that's just sickening. the fact that they made the red cross staff think they were part of some real recovery effort is even more disturbing 🤯. i don't get why hamas feels the need to do something like this, it's not going to change anything for them, and it's just going to hurt innocent people more 💔. the israeli gov has every right to be upset, but at the same time, we need to remember that there are human lives involved here... 🤞 can't we all just try to keep the peace?
 
this is so messed up 🤯 the fact that hamas manipulated the remains of an Israeli hostage like this is just horrific 🙏 and the red cross not knowing about it till now is even more disturbing 😱 their response seems kinda weak considering they're supposed to be on humanitarian grounds but i guess you can't expect a charity to get involved in conflict drama 💔
 
omg, this is so messed up 🤯... i mean, come on hamas! manipulating the remains of a dead Israeli hostage is just horrific. the fact that they can just bury someone, then dig them up again, and claim it's all part of some staged display is just ridiculous 🙄. the red cross is saying that their staff were in the dark about what was going on, which is understandable i guess, but still it's not like hamas didn't have a chance to tell them.

i'm really worried about the families of those missing hostages and their families, they deserve answers and justice. this whole situation just feels like hamas is trying to distract from their own failures and blame everyone else 🙅‍♂️. i hope something gets done soon to bring some closure to these families. it's just not right what's going on in gaza right now 😔.
 
😔 this is so heartbreaking... i cant even imagine how those families are struggling without their loved ones. the fact that Hamas is accused of manipulating the situation is super disturbing 🤯 it's like they're playing with people's emotions and lives. the red cross statement makes sense, but at the same time, it's hard not to feel like they should've been able to intervene in some way 💔 i hope those families get some closure soon and that someone is held accountable for this manipulation 🤞
 
Ugh man, this is so messed up 🤯. Like, I get why Hamas would wanna make a point, but manipulating human remains? That's just sick. And for the Red Cross to not even know that was staged, it's like they're complicit or something 🙅‍♂️. It just shows how messed up this whole situation is. The Israelis are all like "Hamas is doing this", and then the Red Cross is all like "we didn't know" 🤷‍♂️. I mean, what even is going on here? Can we just get some answers already? 💔
 
I'm literally shaking my head over this Hamas thing... 🤯 Like, I get that both sides are salty about these hostages, but c'mon guys! Can't we all just share a plate of hummus and try not to blow each other up for once? 😂 The Red Cross is like, "Uh, nope, we're good, we don't know what's going on." Fair enough, I guess. But seriously, who buries a body in a pit, then digs it up again, just to create a fake scene? It's like something out of a bad movie 🎥. And now the whole international community is all, "Hamas, you bad guys!" Meanwhile, Israel's all, "We're not doing anything wrong, Hamas is just being mean." You know what? Can't we all just... I don't know... share some ice cream or something and call a truce? 🍦💖
