| Abdallah: 18-yrs-old Hamas rapist-murderer. |
Jamal Hussein Ahmad Radi, 47, and his 18-year-old
son, Abdallah, were seized by the Israel Defense Forces in the Gaza Strip this
spring and subsequently questioned about the terror attack, the Daily Mail
revealed.
Jamal described finding a woman who was “screaming” and “crying” in a house at Kibbutz Nir Oz, a community near the Israel-Gaza border. Video reportedly obtained by the Daily Mail shows Hamas terrorist Jamal Hussein Ahmad Radi being interrogated by Israeli forces. The father and son detailed their horrifying attacks on an Israeli woman.
“I did what I
did, I raped her,” he said nonchalantly. “I threatened her with my gun to take
her clothes off, I remember she was wearing jean shorts, that’s about it,” he
added. Jamal claimed that he did not know what happened to the woman after the
rape, but his teen son told the interrogator that his father killed the
desperate victim.
“My father raped
her, then I did and then my cousin did and then we left but my father killed
the woman after we finished raping her,” Abdallah said in his own interview
tape. Sickening new video shows Hamas line up female Israeli soldiers on Oct.
7: 'Here are the girls who can get pregnant'.
In the footage, Jamal was handcuffed and dressed in a gray tracksuit while sitting in front of an Israeli flag. “In each house where we found someone, we either killed them or kidnapped them,” he said. Of the 400 residents of Kibbutz Nir Oz, at least 20 were killed on Oct. 7 and 80 were kidnapped.
Jamal appeared
unfazed as he explained in horrifying detail how he entered one home and killed
the couple who were hiding inside. “In the first house, I found a woman and her
husband, and we hit them with fire and killed them … they were in their late
40s,” he recalled.
The chilling videos of Jamal and Abdallah’s interviews quickly went around on social media, where disgusted viewers noted how casually both men discussed the atrocities. Heidi Bachram — whose in-laws were killed and abducted in the Oct. 7 attack — wrote on X that Jamal was a “sociopath.”
The father and
son’s interviews was released shortly after the Hostages and Missing Families
Forum shared the sickening body camera footage of Hamas terrorists gloating
over the blood-spattered faces of five female Israeli soldiers.
In the video, the terrorists could be heard making plans to sexually assault the women. “Here are the girls who can get pregnant,” one of the gunmen said. The bloodied soldiers were identified as Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Agam Berger, Daniella Gilboa and Naama Levy. All five are still being held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Hostages and Missing Families forum said.
Moshe Tur-Paz, of Israel’s centrist Yesh Atid party, said the body camera video should galvanize the government to bring the remaining hostages home after over seven months of war. “I agree it’s a wake-up call because I think the Israeli government isn’t doing enough to return the hostages,” Tur-Paz told reporters at an event at Jerusalem Press Club headquarters in Jerusalem.
“It should be doing more. And I’ll say it
politically — I think the Israeli government is held hostage itself by the
extreme right of Israel,” he added.
The Oct. 7 attack
and the ensuing Israel-Hamas war have highlighted major divides in Israeli
politics, particularly between more centrist or left-leaning leaders and the
right-wing faction steered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“There’s no easy
way to put it. We need to [release] a few thousand of the terrorists today in
our prisons. And we need to agree to a part — not full — stop of the war in
order to return those hostages that are alive,” Tur-Paz insisted. “We’ll bring
back the sense of security to people and give our enemies the understanding
that it’s not really good to mess with Israel,” he added.
Dan Illouz, of
Netanyahu’s Likud party, said the video should bolster Israel’s mission to wipe
Hamas off the face of the Earth. “We really saw the face of evil revealed,”
Illouz said of the video. “It was very clear for us that the only way we can
then respond is to eradicate that evil.”

“I myself don’t
agree that we should make some concession that would endanger our ability to
defeat Hamas, because I think that this is an existential question that we need
to address, and the best way to release hostages will be through military
pressure,” he continued.
“It’s not an
easy sentence to say, because as I say it, my heart wrenches. I want the
hostages home. It’s not something that’s easy to say, but I have to say it out
of national responsibility,” Illouz conceded.
He also noted
that Hamas has made Israel’s position “very easy” by rejecting “the most generous
offers put on the table.” “It’s not as if we’re even arguing about an actual
offer that was put on the table,” he pointed out.
