There’s no way they intended to kill him if true at all. These hostages are worth 100 times more to them alive than dead.

Hamas doesn’t care about their civilians who are dropping dead by the hundrends everyday and rather care about keeping these hostages alive to achieve their demands.

Also most of the hostages were killed by IDF strikes and in every time that happened Hamas releases videos and statements asking Israel to stop killing their hostages and start trading them.
