Israeli Major General Noam Tibon has told an Israeli public radio station that now is the time to make a deal with Hamas and bring bank the Israeli captives of the armed group, Al Jazeera reports.
“Otherwise, they will all come back in coffins or not at all,” he added.
“We will have sent for generations to come a message to the citizens of Israel that they live in an insecure state, and a message to mothers who send their children to the army, that if your child falls into captivity, he will probably not return, and this is not overlooked, so it must be concluded. A deal now,” Tibon said.
