Hamas is now essentially admitting it executed the 6 Israeli hostages to prevent them from being rescued. But it's also lying when it says this is a new policy. After Israeli forces recovered 4 hostages in June, Hamas opened fire on the retreating rescue convoy, preferring to try and kill the hostages (and any Palestinians in the ensuing crossfire) than let them escape. They've never cared about the lives of the hostages or people of Gaza. Those are all just chits to cash in for their own power.
