The Islamists of Hamas make no distinction between Israelis and foreigners in their terrorist attacks, neither in executions nor in kidnappings. A young Palestinian also ends up in their clutches. He protests that he is not Israeli, but his tormentor doesn’t care.
According to a report in the New York Times, a young Palestinian is among the hostages held by the Islamist Hamas in the Gaza Strip. It was a 22-year-old from East Jerusalem, the newspaper wrote, citing the man’s family. On the night of October 7th, he drove a group of revelers to a music festival in the Negev desert, where a few hours later members of the Palestinian organization Hamas murdered at least 260 people.
It was said that the 22-year-old called his brother in the early hours of the morning and reported about the attack. A little later, the 22-year-old’s brother-in-law received a call from a member of Hamas. The brother-in-law told the newspaper that he assured the man on the phone that the 22-year-old was not an Israeli citizen. “I’ll keep him with me,” was the answer.
A total of more than 1,400 people were killed in Israel in the terrorist attack by Hamas, which rules in the Gaza Strip, and in the days that followed. It was the worst bloodbath in Israeli history. According to the army, at least 199 people were forcibly taken to the Gaza Strip, including several Germans.
On Monday, Hamas released a video with a suspected hostage for the first time. According to media reports, it is said to be an Israeli who also has French nationality.
