I’m not going to post the video. I refused to watch it or even look at pictures.
Israel confirmed Hamas killed Joshua Mollel, 21, a Tanzanian agricultural intern, on October 7.
Video and pictures of Mollel’s murder hit social media this past weekend. Hamas is still holding his body hostage.
Joshua never left Tanzania before accepting an internship in Israel. He worked on a dairy farm in Kibbutz Nahal Oz.
Joshua wanted to open an agricultural business back home. From The Times of Israel:
He was working in the Kibbutz Nahal Oz dairy farm, and was excited to learn more about farming, wanted to eventually open his own agricultural business back home.A few weeks after the attack, his father spoke to BBC, telling them he last spoke to Joshua on October 5, two days before the Hamas onslaught.“I said, ‘Be on your best behavior because you’re somewhere new, and make the most of the internship you’re there to do,’” he recounted.“My son wants to make his fortune in agribusiness and become one of Tanzania’s most successful farmers,” his father said at the time, saying they were hoping he would return home from his studies to build a successful business.“We can’t eat or sleep — when I go to the market people ask me why I’m losing so much weight,” said his father weeks after the attack.He told AFP in late October, “I feel bad all the time because my son is not a warrior. He just went for training but is now in trouble.”He described his son as “polite, obedient and serious” about his work.Louito told the BBC that Joshua’s younger siblings “ask me every morning and night: ‘Dad, we want to talk to our brother.’”
Hamas also kidnapped and killed Clemence Felix Mtenga (also seen spelled Clemens Matanga), a Tanzanian agricultural student in Israel with Mollel and Ezekiel Kitiku, another student intern:
Ezekiel Kitiku, a fellow Tanzanian intern, was living and working with Mtenga on Kibbutz Nir Oz in the dairy farm. He told BBC that as the air raid sirens sounded on October 7 and he ran for shelter, he texted both Mtenga and Mollel. “They told me that there were so many rockets coming from Gaza — and that they were going to the shelters too,” he said. But a few hours later, they were no longer answering.
