Nukhba is Hamas's elite unit. Most Hamas terrorist combatants are not Nukhba members.
Tweeter is wrong, but the point unfortunately is true, as proven everywhere else.

I have not seen any indication that the majority of invaders were non-combatants. All I know of is anecdotes of a handful of cases

Majority of initial invaders were not. They were followed by a ton later.

That's anecdotes. 6000 people invaded from Gaza, you saw a few thousand civilians in videos?

Who knows of the Gazans that snitched to the IDF, mossad, and/or secretly did things to help the hostages. Obviously these stories can't come out for a long while. But time will tell. Hopefully. (Although to be honest, I'm not too confident)

I don’t see how we’re comparing population size between entire countries where even a few hundred civilians hid yidden, vs the 2 mil gazans.

This is one of the least intelligent comparisons I've seen yet. Zero logical connection.

We didn't hear about the Poles and Germans until after the Nazis were out of power.

The IDF has lots of Human Intel on the ground. You won't hear about them. Some have been blackmailed to collaborate with the IDF, it's possible that others do it for pure motives.

That being said, have there been ANY public condemnations from the Arab world (or from the UN, or ICRC) to the murder in captivity of Shiri Bibas and her kids, or any of the other hostages who were murdered in captivity?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Because it's wrong, immoral, and against humanity to murder hostages, and more so little children and their mother.

Aha, and those are the parties you expect to condemn such actions. Got it.

They were alive when kidnapped, so if they are dead now then, both a legal and moral level, Hamas murdered them.

Or as information is coming out now, Hamas subcontractors.

This entire thing strikes a loud chord with me as it was just last week that I was exposed to letters of my great aunt on how her son, who lived his entire short 3-year life in the Kovno Ghetto, was ripped from her arms and sent into the burning Kovno Ghetto.
