Hamas Drugged Hostages, Including Kids, to Make Them Look Happy During Televised Release
Hamas kidnappers branded children’s legs with heated motorcycle exhaust for identification.
As freed Israeli hostages and their families began to speak about their captivity inside terrorist-controlled Gaza, horrific details of atrocities and abuse are coming to light. On Tuesday, the Israeli Health Ministry confirmed that Hamas terrorists drugged hostages, including children, to make them appear calm and happy before international media during their televised release.
“Hamas drugged hostages with tranquiliser pills before handing them over to the Red Cross for release, an Israeli health official has claimed. Dr. Hagar Mizrahi, told the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, that the hostages were given drugs before they were handed over to the aid group,” the British newspaper Telegraph reported Tuesday. “Last week, the uncle of two Israeli boys released by Hamas said following their release: ‘They were drugged, they were treated so bad, but at least they are with us.'”
The drugging of children to make them look happy during their televised release is a sick attempt to bolster the image of Hamas terrorists as the U.S. and Western allies pressure Israel to scale down its counter-terrorism operation in Gaza in response to the October 7 massacre.

The Times of Israel reported the disturbing new details:
A Health Ministry representative tells the Knesset Health Committee that the hostages freed from Hamas captivity were given tranquilizer pills before being handed over to the Red Cross for transfer to Israel. The drugging would have aimed to make the hostages appear calm, happy and upbeat after suffering physical abuse, deprivation and psychological terror for more than 50 days in Gaza.
Dr. Hagar Mizrahi, head of the Health Ministry’s medical division, specifically names the drug Clonazepam. Known as Clonex in Israel and sold under the brand names Klonopin and Rivotril elsewhere, the drug is used to prevent and treat anxiety disorders, seizures, bipolar mania, agitation associated with psychosis, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The ministry representative does not disclose whether the drugging has been confirmed by blood tests done on the released hostages at Israeli hospitals, or from the freed hostages’ testimony, or both.
Families of hostages speaking earlier to the committee were the first to raise the issue.
Shas MK Yonatan Mashriki urges the Health Ministry to send health organizations around the world an official report detailing the evidence of the drugging and other medical findings following the released hostages’ return.
Hamas terrorists branded kidnapped Israeli kids with motorcycle exhausts
The latest news follows other harrowing revelations about Hamas’s atrocities against helpless child hostages. During the October 7 massacre, Hamas terrorists branded the legs of kidnapped Israeli children with heated motorcycle exhaust pipes for identification, the families of the released hostages recently disclosed.
“On October 7, Hamas terrorists kidnapped children on motorcycles and were trained to create a specific sign on their bodies: they put one of the children’s legs in the motorcycle exhaust,” the Jerusalem Post reported Friday.
Nauseatingly sadistic.
Hamas drugged Or Yaakov (16) and Yigal Yaakov (12) and burned their legs using a motorcycle exhaust to be able to identify them if they ever escaped.
These children have experienced things NO ONE should ever have to. pic.twitter.com/g5x06k9jBy

IDF encircles Hamas stronghold in southern Gaza
After eliminating and flushing out Hamas terrorists from northern Gaza, the IDF has encircled the Hamas stronghold of Jabaliya in the southern part of the terrorist-infested territory.
“The IDF expanded its ground operation in the Palestinian enclave since the end of the ceasefire,” the i24NEWS reported Tuesday. “The IDF is operating ‘in the heart of’ Hamas dens in Khan Yunis, Jabaliya in southern Gaza, the military said on Tuesday.”
The destruction of terrorists and their infrastructure in Jabaliya is central to Israel’s war aim of ridding Gaza of Hamas. After the fall of key terrorist strongholds in the north, leading Hamas commanders, including Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, have reportedly fled to Jabaliya.
“IDF troops are operating in the area of Jabalya, after completing the encirclement of the Jabalya camp. Over the past day, IDF troops operated in Hamas strongholds and destroyed terrorist infrastructure in the area,” the IDF said in a statement on Tuesday morning. “The troops struck terrorist infrastructure, located weapons and launchers in civilian compounds, and directed aerial forces to strike numerous terrorists.”

Israeli broadcaster Arutz Sheva reported the ongoing operation in southern Gaza:
Earlier on Tuesday, the IDF conducted a targeted raid on a Hamas Internal Security Forces command and control center in Jabalya, where they located observation and control materials, weapons, and maps.
IDF troops also operated in Hamas strongholds and destroyed terrorist infrastructure in the area, taking control of key military posts from which attacks on IDF troops have been carried out.
The troops struck terrorist infrastructure, located weapons and launchers in civilian compounds, and directed aerial forces to strike numerous terrorists.

So it’s like public schools, at least for the boys.
For the girls. it’s like Loudoun County public schools.
They drugged the hostages to make them look happier before releasing them and branded the children so they could be identified if they managed to escape. How nice. How very nice. I’ll add that one to the ever growing list of barbaric and savage acts committed by Hamas and their arab allies and the so-called “civilians” that the West is so desperate to save.
So when can we say the whole lot of ’em should be forcibly removed from Gaza and the West Bank and sent packing to an appropriate arab country (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt) and any that insist on remaining do so at their own risk.
Israel from the River Jordan west to the Sea (Mediterranean) and Hamas and their arab terrorist allies get everything east of the River Jordan to Iraq.
It is now being said by the State Department that the women not released by Hamas, are being held so as to not disclose their rape and “sexual abuse”. It is also now confirmed that 2 children were executed, an autistic 13 year old girl and another with cerebral palsy.
I have a quick question for the chancellors and presidents at Harvard, MIT, NYU, and UPenn: how do you live with yourself knowing your silence and inactions around anti-semitism are living a lie?
“It is also now confirmed that 2 children were executed, an autistic 13 year old girl and another with cerebral palsy.”
Sounds like what Germany did in the recent past.
If Muslims eliminated all the mentally ill and mentally retarded there would be no Islam.
And, the vile and evil Dhimmi-crats and European, Leftist dhimmis will still dutifully tell anyone who’ll listen that these Muslim supremacist, terrorist and Islamofascist Arab “Palestinians” are the real victims, and, their barbarism and sadism are allegedly the product of, and, a legitimate response to, Israeli Jews’ alleged transgressions.
This really doesn’t surprise me. Unfortunately, they were probably not blood-tested immediately when returned and there won’t be any physical evidence – which means the deniers can screech their heads off. /sigh/
This also demonstrates the projection going on with the Palis claiming Israeli prisoners were tortured and such.
It also suggests something Israel could do to discourage recidivism among the Pali terrorists: brand them. That way, when they’re caught engaging in terrorism another time, they can simply be shot on capture. I would even say you could make it a nice, clear “666” on their foreheads.
I smile at the following thought.
There is a large handful of interrogators with no limitations who love their job like a cat loves sniffing out its prey. They don’t care about business hours because they love what they do. They have 24/7 teams.
These are not garden-variety interrogators; they are the best in the world. They have a matrix of brains connecting every angle and will do so with impunity.
Who doesn’t love a man who loves his job and is good at it.
I think Budweiser could regain it’s market by bringing back the commercial style of old… “mr interogator man,, this Bud’s for you”. on this role.
Israel would lose all respect from me if they didn’t use the silent professional maxim to its fullest to erase every last heartbeat that had anything do with this. No permission, no nod from the international arena, just disappearing hajis.
The MONSTERS continued their abuse with the Hostages. I hope that every last one of them is killed by Israel !
Clonex is so disabling & disorienting that it has been used as a date rape drug. https://www.justice.gov/archive/ndic/pubs/654/odd.htm
