The jihadist terrorist organization Hamas has reportedly lost track of some of the 240 people abducted from Israel on October 7, complicating their ability to negotiate for their release.

The whereabouts of these hostages remain unknown, with reports suggesting that rival groups like Palestinian Islamic Jihad may be keeping some hostages.

The Israeli government agreed to a pause in military activities to secure the release of some hostages, but the situation remains unclear. (Trending: Donald Trump Confronts Bud Light CEO.)

“According to sources familiar with the details of the agreement, there are hostages who fulfill the criteria established by Hamas to be freed, but are not in the hands of Hamas but rather detained in the Gaza Strip by other terrorist organizations, such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” Infobae noted.

“If they get additional women and children, there will be an extension,” Qatari top diplomat Al-Thani said.

“We don’t yet have any clear information how many they can find because … one of the purposes [of the pause] is they [Hamas] will have time to search for the rest of the missing people.”

“There’s been a well-developed smuggling economy in Gaza for decades – long before Hamas took control – organised by networks of crime families. So it’s possible hostages are neither under the control of Hamas nor Islamic Jihad – but these crime organisations,” said Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director at the transatlantic thinktank the Counter Extremism Project.

There are concerns that crime syndicates in Gaza may also be involved in holding hostages.

Additionally, reports indicate that Palestinian civilians may have been involved in looting and aiding the terrorists during the attack.
