In a tense situation, Israel is weighing whether to let around 200 Hamas fighters escape from Rafah. These fighters are stuck in tunnels, cut off from their leaders. Some reports say these fighters were involved in recent attacks that killed three Israeli soldiers. The idea is to let them move to an area controlled by Hamas, but not everyone agrees with this plan. Some believe it's a way to prevent more attacks, while others think it's a mistake. One argument is that letting them go would protect Israeli soldiers and help find hostages. But others, like Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, strongly disagree. He thinks it's wrong to let these fighters go free after they killed Israeli soldiers. The family of one of the soldiers killed in the recent attacks also spoke out. They urged the prime minister not to let the attackers escape. They want the government to either convince the fighters to surrender or eliminate them. This situation shows the difficult choices Israel has to make. It's not just about safety but also about justice and what's right.
