For an Islamic Jihadi, individual life means nothing; life is only valuable relative to achieving one’s goal of killing the infidels and conquering their land for Islam, goals endorsed and encouraged by Islamic scriptures. That is why Hamas terrorists have always used human shields and raped and massacred victims of all ages, which they continue to do through the present day.
Israel previously identified a major terrorist base under Shifa Hospital and Hamas has been blocking civilian evacuations from Gaza, even to the point of shooting their own people, since the start of the current conflict. The official Twitter/X account of the nation of Israel posted on March 31:
“Hamas weapons, explosives, and ammunition hidden in the maternity ward of Shifa Hospital.
Yes, in the maternity ward.
Inside pillows, beds, ceilings and walls.
Hamas shoots at mothers and babies while hiding behind mothers and babies.”
Again, considering Hamas’s years-long record of hiding their weapons and military targets in and around schools, mosques, residential high-rises, and hospitals, this is not surprising. What is surprising and sickening is how many Westerners still believe Gazans and even Hamas are innocent, beleaguered victims rather than sick perpetrators of egregious crimes against humanity. And yes, the alleged civilians of Gaza are guilty too, as well over two-thirds of them still support the Hamas Oct. 7 atrocities and continued Hamas control of the Gaza Strip.
There are also several recent disturbing but very important posts from Israel and affiliated accounts about the victims of the Hamas terrorist attacks, either injured or killed on October 7 or kidnapped and held hostage afterwards.
For instance, Israeli government official David Saranga posted video clips of the “car cemetery” near the border with Gaza across which the jihadis came with the support of the Palestinian Authority and Gazan people to murder Israeli civilians. “1650 vehicles which belonged to the victims of the October 7 massacre” are a powerful reminder of just how many people were killed and injured and kidnapped that horrific day, the worst single day of slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.
“On October 7, Gil Taasa (47) jumped on a grenade hurled by Hamas terrorists, saving the lives of his two children, Koren (12) and Shay (8).
CCTV footage shows the moments following the attack in which the injured boys who have just seen their father murdered, try to communicate with the terrorists who are cruelly indifferent.
The older brother (Koren) tries to comfort his younger brother (Shay) who is covered in blood [from facial wounds].
Koren recently shared his horrific experience on the Israeli news program @Uvda_tweet.”
Hamas burned alive and beheaded babies and gunned down entire families that day. You can watch Koren tell his story on Twitter/X. It is particularly important because, according to Koren, reports were relating false information about what happened to him and his family that day, apparently in an effort to make the vicious terrorists look better.
One of the hostages taken by Hamas was 12-year-old Eitan Yahalomi. “First, he was beaten, then they put him alone in a cell with bars and he was left alone for 16 days in the custody of armed men from Hamas,” Times of Israel quoted the boy’s mother. The outlet explained that “Eitan was only allowed to shower twice in 52 days, never slept on mattress and was beaten by terrorists; he still has nightmares and hasn't resumed normal life.” And yet he was one of the “lucky ones”, because he was released. There are 134 hostages who remain in captivity in Gaza, and we have no idea if they are dead or alive.
Pray for the hostages and the people of Israel, as they fight the demonic forces of Hamas in Gaza, that the God of Israel will give them victory.
