During interrogation, the Hamas terrorist confessed to shooting Israeli children.

“Kill everyone you see and go back to Gaza”

The man, Amer Abu Ghosha, is a member of Nuhba, a militant unit of Hamas.

  • “Our only mission was to kill, not to kidnap. “Kill everyone you see and go back to Gaza,” the man said during interrogation.

He says the terrorist group he was part of drove a jeep to Kibbutz Kfar Az in southern Israel, where he entered after blowing up the gate with an explosive device. Once in the kibbutz, a group of terrorists went from house to house – setting fire to houses, shooting Kalashnikov assault rifles at everyone they met, or throwing grenades at them.

Abu Gosha claims that at one point he entered the house and heard the voices of children crying in the room. He says they were shooting at the door with their guns and that the voices eventually stopped and he decided they were dead.

A Hamas terrorist says he and some fighters accompanying him confronted Israeli soldiers who entered the house through windows and forced them to surrender.

When asked why they killed women and children, Abu Ghosha replied: “They told us that all the settlers were soldiers.”

About 3,000 terrorists invaded southern Israel on October 7 – Israeli army

A new assessment by the Israeli army (IDF) of the Hamas attack on October 7 shows that about 3,000 terrorists invaded southern Israel and committed crimes in cities bordering the Gaza Strip, writes The Times of Israel.

According to preliminary military estimates, about 2,500 Hamas fighters participated in the attack.

The IDF says its forces killed about 1,000 terrorists and captured 200 in the first two days of fighting, and that many bodies of terrorists are still scattered in the border area, which they will collect when possible.

The terrorist group Hamas took more than 240 hostages in a bloody attack on Israel on October 7 that left 1,400 dead.

The surprise attack by Hamas brought together armed fighters who crossed the border fence under a powerful volley of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.
