Father of murdered IDF soldier says Hamas terrorists tried to sell his son's head for $10,000

The father of a deceased Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier revealed that Hamas terrorists had tried to sell his son’s head for $10,000.

"That is just insane barbarism," David Tahar said in an interview with Channel 14.  He had tried for months to find his son’s head after the IDF recovered his body following the Oct. 7 attack, saying, "A father needs to know everything about his children."

"From a CT scan I received recently, his whole body is full of shrapnel, and unfortunately the body of Adir was also abused after he was killed," his father claimed.  [...]

UNRWA is worse than you think

 

This is the story of UNRWA – the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.  On Friday, it announced that it was investigating allegations that 12 of its employees in Gaza took part in the Hamas pogrom of 7 October.  Israel alleges that these UNRWA staff, people literally on the payroll of the UN, carried out acts including abduction, distributing ammunition, coordinating attacks and actual murder.  UNRWA says it has dismissed the suspects and is investigating the claims.  [...]

IDF, Shin Bet:  We Stopped Another 10/7-Style Hamas Massacre Plotted From West Bank Hospital

Perhaps Hamas has not received the memo. Using hospitals as cover and human-shield strategies while plotting terrorist attacks no longer works, at least according to the IDF and Shin Bet.  Acting on intelligence that Hamas' leadership abroad had coordinated weapons distribution from a cell embedded in a Jenin hospital, the IDF conducted a raid and killed its leader and two other operatives.

 

Hamas had planned to run another October 7-style massacre out of the West Bank using the Ibn Sina hospital as its command center, Israel claims:  [...]

Israel Confirms 31 Hostages Dead in Gaza Captivity Since October 7

[...] Israeli officials are reportedly reviewing unconfirmed intelligence that another 20 hostages have been killed as well, of 132 hostages still held captive since October 7, plus two fallen IDF soldiers and two mentally-challenged Israeli adults who have been held hostage in Gaza since 2014.  Israel has managed to free 110 hostages so far — and time is running out for those who remain, due to their various health issues, ages, injuries and the terrible conditions in which they are being held.

I heard a discussion not long ago.  One guy trashed Bidementia and said, "If I were president, I'd have given those clowns [in Gaza] 24 hours to release all hostages alive and well.  One minute past deadline, I'd turn their sand into glass and soak the remains in pigs' blood."

IDF Uncovers Secret Hamas Data Center Directly Beneath UNRWA's Gaza HQ

 

We've known that Hamas operates in hospitals and schools in Gaza, despite their heated denials.  We've also known about the extensive terror tunnel network under the Strip, where they store weapons, hide hostages, and plan attacks.

 

But a new find by the Israel Defense Forces is even more troubling – Hamas has been operating a sophisticated data center directly beneath the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), complete with an electrical room, industrial battery power banks, and living quarters for Hamas terrorists overseeing the computer operations.  [...]

Even Egypt is essentially saying Hamas must go.

 

There's No Point Negotiating With Hamas, Says ... Egypt?

 

Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry sharply criticized Hamas on Saturday, saying that "the organization is outside the Palestinian consensus, which recognizes Israel and wants to reach negotiations with it, because [Hamas] is not ready to give up its support for violence." 

 

Shoukry made these comments at a press conference held at the Munich Security Conference. He also said that "we must give an account of how Hamas gained power in the Gaza Strip, and why it received financial support to increase the division between it and the other peacekeeping Palestinian factions – whether these are the Palestinian Authority, the PLO or the Palestinian public itself."

That is a shame, still unclear why they did not continue. At least a few more weeks.
