Hamas currently has no information about the whereabouts of the hostages.

The former head of the Shin Bet investigation department, Micha Kobi, believes that Hamas is not interested in concessions on deals with hostages from Israel. He notes the enormous challenges in the fight against this organization and notes the lack of accurate information about the whereabouts of the hostages in the Gaza Strip.

Micha Kobi calls for creative methods, such as paying money for information about hostages, to secure their release. He also draws attention to Hamas's control over humanitarian aid, noting high food prices and violence in food distribution.

The expert believes that military intervention in the Gaza Strip is inevitable and proposes strengthening control over the Philadelphia axis. He is confident that with the right tactics it is possible to destroy Hamas as a political force within two years.
