A Hamas terrorist allegedly boasted about killing 10 Jews “with my own hands” to his parents — as he talked to them on one of his victims’ phones, the Israel Defense Force claimed Tuesday.
An unidentified Hamas terrorist can be heard telling his parents to quickly open his latest WhatsApp message so they can “see all those” he had murdered, according to a phone recording the IDF posted on X.
“Look how many I killed with my own hands! Your son killed Jews!”
He even bragged to his father that he was using a phone stolen from a Jewish woman he had killed in Mefalsim, a kibbutz not far from the Gaza border.
“I killed her and I killed her husband,” he said. “I killed 10 with my own hands! Dad, 10 with my own hands!”
He repeatedly told his father to open the messages to look at the images of his prey.
The two seem to rejoice over the phone, the terrorist’s voice thick with emotion as he excitedly repeats multiple times that he killed nearly a dozen people.

“Oh my son, God bless you!” his father said.
“I swear, 10 with my own hands,” the terrorist repeated when his mother returned to the line. “I killed 10 with my own hands.
“Mom, your son is a hero! Kill, kill, kill!”
His mother replies that she hopes he is brought home safely.

His parents ask him to return home, but he refuses to do so, telling them, “There is no going back. It’s either death or victory.”
The man then returned to insisting his parents open his message to “see the dead.” It is unclear if they viewed the messages he shared or what the images contained.
IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said the recording was first revealed at the UN Security Council.
