A terrorist from Hamas’s elite Nukhba Force who was caught by Israel during the October 7 massacre told Shin Bet interrogators that he had received orders to kill Israeli children, Haaretz reports.
“They’ll grow up and become soldiers” he explained, according to Haaretz.
He went on to justify the decapitation of Israeli victims, saying it was done to “to sow fear” among the Israeli public.
The terrorist said he didn’t regret anything he had done and said that in “terms of the brutality, there’s no difference” between the acts carried out by Hamas and those done by ISIS, Haaretz reports.
