Who abducts women in their 80ies to make them hostages?

The cowardly killers of Hamas apparently have also abducted at least two women in their 80ies. One of them has been released in the meantime.

It is one thing to mistreat and massacre civilians of all ages, it is another to abduct elderly women as hostages.

I suspect these horrific deeds may not go down well with the Arab public. Hamas in its extremism may have exceeded what is tolerable among Arabs.
