Hamas releases ‘parting image’ of 48 remaining captives, vowing that Israel will never see them again

Hamas ominously released what it called a “parting image” Saturday of the remaining 48 Israelis being held captive in Gaza, as the Jewish state’s ground troops prepare to close in on Gaza City.

The image is a compilation of the faces of the captives, with the name Ron Arad inscribed below each one.

Arad was an Israeli air force pilot who went missing during a 1986 bombing mission in southern Lebanon, who is believed to have been captured and since died. He is still officially classified as missing.
