“I crossed the fence through a breach that made it possible to pass on foot. After that, I got on a white Magnum Jeep and we drove to the settlement gate which was closed. We climbed over the gate and entered the area with the farmers’ rooms,” Adham tells a Shin Bet interrogator.

The Hamas member says that two other operatives abducted foreign workers from the area, and he later took one more hostage.

“We put the hostages in the ambulance, where [another operative] asked one of them: ‘What is your name?’ But he did not understand. The second hostage hinted to him: ‘Thailand.’ Then we realized that they both have the same citizenship and most likely they are laborers. They told us to go with the ambulance to Shifa Hospital,” Adham says.

“The first hostage at Shifa was walking on his feet. The second hostage was carried on a stretcher. They put the second one in the room, where there was one from al-Qassam outside and two from al-Qassam inside,” Ismail says, referring to Hamas’s military wing.

“I heard only one word from the wounded hostage: ‘Thailand. Thailand.’ And he was silent,” Ismail says.

The IDF and Shin Bet have detained hundreds of Hamas members during the ground offensive in the Gaza Strip, many of whom participated in the October 7 attacks.
