How were they killed? I haven't seen any sources reporting on the cause of death. Were they shot and executed? Or was it Israel bombing the fuck out of the tunnels causing them to die from the tunnel collapsing in on them?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

NYTimes reports that IDF claims Hamas killed them shortly before they were found. I thought I recalled seeing elsewhere that they were claimed to have been shot, but I can't find that source at the moment.
Of course, how credible is the IDF?
Exactly. If Hamas actually did line them up and executed them, that would be the headline. But instead nobody is reporting a single fact about their circumstances other than "dead'". The IDF posts tiktoks of them raping prisoners and cooking with stolen food for Palestinians; they have zero credibility.
Meanwhile, Hamas says that Israel killed them through their bombardments and air strikes. It makes it a he-said, she-said situation. And to be honest, I'm more inclined to believe Hamas on this one, considering how credible the IDF has been and how many bombs they have been dropping. Plus, if there was some policy to shoot hostages before Israel found them or before they left an area, they wouldn't have rescued any up to this point, and we know they have found some here before (and shot them). My gut says that the IDF just doesn't want to look bad.
And I know Hamas sucks too, but I have to give them credit for this sick burn:
Rishq emphasized that Hamas had been more concerned about the lives of the hostages than Biden himself, citing Hamas’ agreement to a cease-fire proposal and the UN Security Council’s resolution, both of which were rejected by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
I'm sure Biden would have just let them party on at that festival
It looks like it's a one-day strike.
I hope many people participate, so that it goes on until a permanent ceasefire is achieved.
Sucks hostages died, but these people should have cared about what their country was doing before it directly affected them.
I think I see what you mean. Still, I believe the priority is for this Genocide to be stopped and Israeli people have the duty I would say, to act towards this direction. General strikes that last long can be a great tool for political pressure.
Definitely but as far as I am concerned the Israeli people have been complicit in this for a long time. Their indifference or outright hatred toward an entire people has caused this and striking now, while a step in the right direction, is very little far too late.
