Oct. 7 terrorist who bragged to parents about massacring Jews killed in strike, Netanyahu confirms

Israel killed the Hamas terrorist who called his parents from Israel on October 7 and bragged to his parents that he had personally slaughtered 10 Jews, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirms at the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem.

According to Netanyahu, Israel then called those same parents and told them their son had been killed.

In the Oct. 7 phone call released by Israel in the days following the massacre, the man could be heard excitedly telling his parents that he was in a kibbutz near the Gaza border. “Look how many I killed with my own hands! Your son killed Jews!” he said, according to an English translation.

Yesterday, Palestinian media in Gaza identified the man as Mahmoud Afana, and said he was killed in Deir al-Balah.

“We are deepening the maneuver on the outskirts of Gaza City, and inside Gaza City,” says Netanyahu.

“We are destroying terror infrastructure, we are taking down terror towers, and we have established another humanitarian zone to allow Gaza’s civilian population to move to a place of safety and also receive humanitarian aid there,” he continues, adding that around 100,000 civilians have evacuated from Gaza City.

Netanyahu says that Hamas is firing at women and children to keep them from leaving.

“We want to focus on the terrorists themselves, and allow the civilian population to get out,” says Netanyahu.

“Look how many I killed with my own hands! Your son killed Jews!”
