Israel shows Hamas members with kidnapped children in a new video: "These are the terrorists we are going to defeat"

A week after the attack committed by Hamas militias against Israel, new images continue to appear of the ground incursion, which the Islamist militiamen took advantage of to capture as many civilians as possible, especially children, with the aim of using them as bargaining chips against the Government of Israel. This Saturday, Israeli troops released a new video in which militants are seen taking babies and small children hostage, before being taken to the Gaza Strip.

The images show Hamas members around a table outside a house, with several very young children around them.. One of these militiamen rocks a stroller with a crying baby inside, while others carry them on their laps and try to calm them by patting them on the back.

At another point in the images, a Hamas member is also seen walking with a baby in his arms through the living room of a home where furniture and fallen objects can be seen, as well as another giving orders to one of the children to drink from a cup.

“You can see their wounds, hear their screams and feel them tremble with fear as these children are held hostage in their own homes by Hamas terrorists and their parents lie dead in the next room. These are the terrorists we are going to defeat,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a message posted on Twitter.

These scenes were recorded during the massive infiltration of Hamas militiamen into Israeli territory last Saturday, where the radical Islamist group took about 150 hostages, mostly Israelis, but also foreigners, of all ages.

Following Israel's response to this attack, 26 hostages have now died in Gaza, according to Hamas, due to the intense Israeli bombing “of the places where they were prisoners” within the Strip.
