JERUSALEM (AP) — The families of hostages held by Hamas militants in Gaza say time is of the essence to rescue their loved ones following the killing of Yahya Sinwar, the head of Hamas, by Israeli troops in Gaza. They are extremely worried that Sinwar’s death might endanger their loved ones even more by prompting retaliation from the hostages’ captors. They also say that killing Sinwar presents Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a opportunity to claim victory on one of his war goals, destroying Hamas politically, and pivot the the second, returning the hostages.
