There was a ceasefire. Hamas broke it.

Hamas broke the ceasefire with a terror attack on a bus stop that killed 3 people. They then also broke the ceasefire by firing a barrage of rockets at Israeli civilian centres.

HAMAS also broke it by not giving the list of hostages, they were supposed to provide it by specific hour, yet they haven't

They broke it within hours by firing rockets, but Israel ignored it.

Why not chant for releasing of hostages if they want ceasefire? Israel said that a. There will be ("permanent") ceasefire if HAMAS will let go of all hostages https://armenpress.am/eng/amp/1123008 b. Israel said that releasing hostages is one of a main goals and israelis see it as a goal as well, I can't imagine how Israeli society would react to ceasefire without release of hostages a

(Btw there was ceasefire before 7th of October)

Yeah, I'm sure what these people expect. Either they are explicitly supporting attacks on civilians and hostage taking as a fine way of warfare, or they are deluded as hell that either side will stop. Hamas could at any time end the war, but they'd rather use innocent Palestinian lives as a shield.

And for what? To try to get a bunch of their hamas friend terrorists released? It's pretty clear where hamas' values lay, and it's not with the Palestinian people. In fact, this whole thing happened precisely because this hostage tactic worked previously. That's how the current leader of hamas was freed in the first place.

I'm 100% Isreal minimizing civilian Palestinian damage, and I think they need to do way better, but I also want to see hamas and their ilk shutdown.
