Dear Editor:
Yes, it is truly a wonderful thing when each and every Israeli hostage is released by the unbelievably barbaric, Iranian-backed Hamas Islamic terrorists!
However, each single Israeli hostage released by Hamas will almost certainly cost the lives of some 20 to 200 Israeli soldiers (some of them Arabic IDF volunteers), because the truce will have allowed the ineffably heinous Hamas to regroup, rearm, and be reinforced!
Yours,
