Those hostages are probably lucky. I saw a dude talking about how he was happy that his child was killed because being kept alive would have just ended in a worse death for his child.
Grief-stricken Thomas Hand told CNN he was glad his daughter had been killed rather than taken as Hamas hostage to Gaza, a fate "worse than death."

A grief-stricken father said he was relieved that his eight-year-old daughter had been killed in a Hamas attack because the alternative would have been "worse than death."
They just said we found Emily, and she's dead." He said he punched the air, "I went 'yes!' I went 'yes!' and smiled," the father said while fighting back tears. "Because that is the best news of the possibilities that I knew."
"She was either dead or in Gaza. And if you know anything about what they do to people in Gaza, that is worse than death."
Hand said she would have been terrified every minute if she'd been held captive in Gaza and could have been imprisoned in the enclave for years.
"So death was a blessing. An absolute blessing," he said.
Emily was killed by Hamas fighters who stormed Be'eri Kibbutz and massacred over 100 Israeli civilians in a terrorist attack.
Her father, who is
originally from Ireland, said the child had been at a sleepover with friends the night before the attack.
