Two Israelis disappeared in Gaza

. Two Israelis disappeared in Gaza. The disclosure came after Haaretz got a gag order lifted.
Hamas captured 28-year-old Avraham (Avera) Mengistu, a mentally ill Ethiopian Jew, after he climbed over the border fence last September. The second man, a Bedouin whose name has not been released, entered Gaza through the Erez crossing in April. Neither has been seen since.

Israel is working through foreign intermediaries to secure their release. Hamas claims it doesn’t know Mengitsu’s whereabouts and says it believes he went to the Sinai through a tunnel in order to make his way to Ethiopia. Israel isn’t buying that story.

. . . there are two reasons why Hamas would disseminate this false story: the first is to preserve him as an “asset “ for future negotiations with Israel.
 
The second possibility is that something bad happened to him, and the person responsible for him is hiding that information from everyone, including senior Hamas officials.

It’s believed that Hamas also has the bodies of Lt. Hadar Goldin and Staff-Sgt. Oron Shaul, who were killed during Operation Protective Edge. Hamas hasn’t offered evidence to confirm this, but it demands that Israel release Palestinian prisoners who were freed in the Gilad Shalit swap but re-arrested after the kidnap and murder of three Israeli teens.

Are they still fighting then Israel and Palestine ?
