Hamas terrorist reveals bosses’ orders: “$10k Stipend for Every Hostage”

On Monday, Israeli officials published a video footage showing Hamas militants disclosing financial assurances provided by the organization’s leadership in exchange for taking Israeli captives.

In a video that was allegedly of Hamas militants admitting to bringing Israeli civilian captives to Gaza in exchange for payment, the Israel Securities Authority (ISA) said that the terrorists were being interrogated.

A captured Hamas terrorist is heard saying in the film, “Whoever kidnaps a hostage and brings them to Gaza is to get a stipend of USD 10,000 and an apartment.”

They further admit that they were explicitly instructed to abduct toddlers and elderly ladies. According to reports, the terrorists were given orders by their superiors to “cleanse the houses and kidnap as many prisoners as possible.”

The terrorist further said that his leader yelled at him for ‘wasting ammunition’ after he shot an Israeli lady who was already dead. “I also shot her, and her corpse was on the ground. The terrorist said that the commander shouted at him and accused him of wasting ammunition on a corpse.

At least 222 terrorists are being detained by Hamas in Gaza City, and thus yet, four of them have been freed. After taking them from Israel on October 7, they released two further captives late on Monday night. Yocheved Lifshitz and Nurit Cooper, two elderly ladies, were let free by the Palestinian Islamist terrorist organization, claiming “compelling humanitarian” causes.

According to the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, these two ladies, who are 85 and 79 years old and used to reside at the Nir Oz kibbutz, were assisted in returning to Israel by the Red Cross.

They were transported to the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza before being returned to Israel.

The Israeli leadership is worried that delaying the invasion of Gaza would just give Hamas more time to prepare for a drawn-out conflict. Israel has been advised to think about delaying the attack until all captives have been freed.

against October 7, Hamas launched an offensive against Israel, which resulted in the deaths of nearly 1,400 people—mostly civilians. With nearly 5,000 Palestinians died as a result of retaliatory Israeli bombings, substantial portions of Gaza City have been destroyed.
