Hamas Terrorist Under Investigation: "We were Ordered to Murder, Behead and Rape"

Israel at war. The IDF is releasing excerpts from an interrogation conducted with a Hamas terrorist from the Nukhba unit, who participated in the surprise attack on Israel and was captured alive in Kibbutz Alumim.

During the interrogation, the terrorist revealed to the investigators the approvals and instructions that the terrorists received, including legal and religious guidance, to carry out the heinous acts.

"The plan was to go from house to house, from room to room, throw grenades and kill everyone there, including women and children," said the terrorist.

"Hamas ordered us to do the following: step on the heads of the dead and behead them. Cut off their legs."

To the utmost horror, he said that they received special permission to rape the bodies of murdered women and girls, and testified that his friend had done such an act to the body of a girl.
