Bullet fragments were discovered in at least some of of the bodies of six Israeli hostages retrieved from Khan Younis in Gaza this week, according to information shared with their families. This grim finding lends credence to the theory that some hostages were killed by their captors shortly before an aerial assault that preceded the rescue operation.

    The families confirmed that bullet fragments were indeed found in and near the bodies of their relatives. However, they have not yet received the final ballistics report with comprehensive details.

    Really it just means that there was bullets fired around them at some point.

    There’s no way to say it proves they were killed before, during, or after. Doesn’t even prove who shot them.

    Hell, it doesn’t even prove the gunshots killed them, or who shot them.

    Literally all it proves is some of them were at some point shot.

    Everything else is useles conjecture.

    Considering the source is rightwing Bibi supporters, you could make the argument it’s outright propaganda. MBFC already does…

    When covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they usually use emotionally charged wording, such as in this article, with a quote that reads, “Peace between Israel and the UAE could have benefitted the Palestinians enormously, but they prefer to cling to frustration, anger, and dreams that will never come true.”

    In general, they hold right-leaning biases and sometimes publish misinformation in support of Israel’s government (propaganda).
