Hamas' brutality continues to affect Israeli families unsure if their loved ones are hostages in Gaza or were killed during the terrorist group's massacre, Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson Masha Michelson told Newsmax on Monday.
Michelson, appearing on "National Report," said families of 199 presumed hostages have been notified by Israeli authorities. She added, however, there are people in the country wondering if loved ones were murdered by Hamas or taken to Gaza.
"The first thing that you have to do when you receive a body to know who it is, is to take fingerprint impressions. And so we've seen countless bodies arriving at those stations, with their fingers and toes cut off with their teeth ripped out," Michelson said. Michelson said Hamas is preventing civilians in northern Gaza from fleeing before IDF begins an expected ground assault in the area, where Israel has dropped leaflets encouraging people to evacuate.
"It is a cynical abuse of human life. And the IDF uses whatever means we have to communicate to those people that they need to evacuate. And they have two choices, either to listen to the IDF and get to a relatively safe place, or to listen to Hamas and keep being used as human shields. But Hamas are actively blocking people from evacuating."
