First, the working assumption among professional officials was that &#8220;there would be many Ron Arads&#8221;, hostages whose fate would never be known.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"402\" data-end=\"579\">In Israel, it was believed that at least in some cases Hamas would not know where those hostages were buried. The intelligence in Israel&#8217;s possession was also insufficient.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"581\" data-end=\"844\">And yet, beyond all expectations, everyone is here. To the very last one.
