Hamas Terrorists, Including Butchers Involved in October 7 Atrocities, Surrender to IDF

Hamas Terrorists, Including Butchers Involved in October 7 Atrocities, Surrender to IDF

Biden WH tells Israel to handover post-Hamas Gaza to terror-supporting Palestinian Authority.

As Hamas loses its grip over Gaza, terrorists — even those involved in the horrific atrocities of October 7 — are surrendering to the Israeli military, Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant confirmed on Monday.

Since last weekend, Hamas terrorists have been seen crawling out of their tunnels and fortifications in large numbers and laying down their weapons before Israeli troops. Those mass surrenders continued on Tuesday as well, news reports indicate. Terrorists “continued to surrender in large numbers to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), though heavy fighting still takes place throughout the enclave,” the Israeli TV channel reported Tuesday.

The Jerusalem Post reported the defense minister’s remarks:

Many of the Hamas terrorists surrendering to the IDF were involved in the October 7 massacre, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated on Monday evening during a televised address.

“Hamas is on the verge of dissolution, the IDF is taking over its last strongholds,” Gallant said.

He added that Israel has no intention to maintain a permanent presence in the Gaza Strip.

During his address, the defense minister spoke directly to Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar telling him either to surrender or face death on the battlefield.

He said that Hamas terrorists in Jabalia and Shejaia are being brought down, though they had thought they were unbeatable.

Gaza residents, who were initially seen cheering Hamas’s mass killing and hostage-taking of innocent Israeli men, women, and children on October 7, are now cursing the Islamic terrorist group for bringing war and destruction to their doorsteps, videos posted on social media show.

The Israeli military is keeping pressure on jihadist strongholds in northern and southern Gaza, further degrading Hamas’s leadership and terrorist capabilities.

The IDF disclosed the latest military operations in a statement on Tuesday morning:

Over the past day, the IAF struck a number of launch posts used to fire rockets at Israelis across the country from inside the Gaza Strip. IDF troops in Jabalya identified a post launching rockets toward the city of Sderot. In response, the forces directed an aircraft that struck the launch post.

IDF troops conducted a targeted raid on a Hamas compound and located approximately 250 rockets, shells, and RPGs that were ready for use, as well as other weapons and military equipment. IDF troops also struck a weapon production factory where they located hundreds of grenades, rockets, and M72 LAW rockets.

IDF starts pumping seawater into terror tunnel network

Media reports on Tuesday evening intricate that the Israeli military has started pumping the Hamas tunnels with seawater. According to Israeli estimates, the underground tunnel network is more than 300 miles long, and contains Hamas’s weapons depots, horded food supplies and fortified bunkers for its terrorist leadership.

 

IDF soldiers recover the bodies of 2 hostages

The IDF succeeded in recovering the corpses of two Israelis kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, the Israeli media reports. The dead hostages were identified as Eden Zacharia and IDF First Sgt. Ziv Dado. Zacharia, a 27-year-old woman kidnapped at the rave festival, while Dado was apparently killed by the terrorists during the October 7 massacre and had his body dragged to Gaza.

The recovery of the bodies came at a painful price. Master Sgt. Gal Meir Eisenkot and Master Sgt. Eyal Meir Berkowitz, both on reservist duty, were killed while extracting the bodies deep inside the Hamas-controlled area. Gal was the son of former IDF chief and current member of the Israeli war cabinet, Gadi Eisenkot.

The Times of Israel reported Tuesday evening:

The IDF announces that it has recovered the bodies of Eden Zacharia and IDF Warrant Officer Ziv Dado, who were taken hostage by Hamas on October 7.

The operation to recover the bodies from the Gaza Strip was carried out by the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504, and the 551st Brigade.

Zacharia, 27, was taken hostage from the Supernova rave near Re’im, and Dado, 36, a logistics supervisor in the Golani Brigade’s 51st Battalion, was killed during the October 7 onslaught. Dado had until recently been declared a “fallen soldier held by a terror group.”

After their bodies were brought back to Israel and identified by medical and rabbinical authorities, their families were notified.

During the operation to recover the bodies, Master Sgt. (res.) Gal Meir Eisenkot — the son of war cabinet minister Gadi Eisenkot — and Master Sgt. (res.) Eyal Meir Berkowitz were killed, and other soldiers were wounded.

Hamas using Gaza houses for hoarding weaponry

The Israeli military continues to uncover how deeply Hamas has penetrated Gaza’s civilian population. Gaza homes were being used in large scale to hide heavy weapons and ammunition, IDF combing operations in liberated areas reveal. According to IDF officials, terrorist propaganda was found in almost every home.

Israeli broadcaster Arutz Sheva reported Tuesday:

Major (res.) Roy Yanovsky, head of the Channel 13 News investigative desk, on reserve duty with the 7007th Reserve Battalion in Gaza, posted pictures of the items he and other soldiers found in Gaza houses on his X account.

“Things you find in Gaza homes:” Yanovsky wrote, starting a thread and noting that the most common items were RPG missiles and Kalashnikov rifles. “The supply is highly impressive,” he wrote.

The second common item is explosive charges. “It’s hard to find a street without a house that has several ready-to-use, including vests, uniforms, and pretty impressive combat equipment,” he added.

Yanovsky also found grad missiles in Gaza homes, as well as a calendar with a photo of Gilad Shalit in captivity and a book, “Battle Legacy,” about the attacks of the Second Intifada.

Yanovsky added that they found, “A coloring book for children, that begins with a description of the Nakba, a ‘Map of Palestine’ with the monitored borders and no mention of Israel.” This “is found in almost every home,” he stressed.

Biden WH tells Israel to handover post-Hamas Gaza to terror-supporting Palestinian Authority

As Hamas rule begins to crumble, the Biden White House is pressuring Israel to hand over complete control of Gaza to the PLO-run Palestinian Authority (PA), a body with a history of promoting, harboring, and financing terrorism.

Prime Minister Netanyahu is resisting Biden staffers’ pressure and does not intend to give up the security control of the jihadist-infested territory to another terror-infested Palestinian outfit after ousting Hamas, news reports suggest.

The British daily Telegraph reported Tuesday:

Israel and the US are at odds over how Gaza will be governed after the war, Benjamin Netanyahu has admitted.

The Israeli prime minister thanked its ally for its support in its fight against Hamas and recovering hostages, but said their visions differed when it came to the future of Gaza.

Mr Netanyahu, who has repeatedly ruled out a return of the Palestinian Authority under President Mahmoud Abbas, said that Gaza “will be neither Hamas-stan nor ‘Fatah-stan’.” Fatah is a reference to Mr Abbas’ faction.

The US has repeatedly called for a return of the internationally recognised Palestinian Authority and the resumption of peace talks aimed at establishing a Palestinian state alongside Israel.

Mr Netanyahu recently suggested that Israel Defense Forces would maintain open-ended security control of Gaza after the war ends.

    I say have the IDF go Carthage 146 BC on Gaza.

    A house with an exit from the Hamas tunnel system and an arms cache? Document the fact, declare it a military target, then level it.

    A mosque with rocket launch facilities? Document the fact, declare it a military target, then level it.

    A UNRWA facility with a munitions manufacturing site (or the house of a UNWRA official that held hostages)? Ditto. (And bar UNRWA from setting foot in Gaza ever again.)

    Etc, etc., etc. If almost every house has arms caches, then almost all the houses get leveled. FAFO.

    Make it clear that if you assist the terrorists, you *will* get this treatment. Do it again after the IDF leaves, and the IDF will come back and do it again.

    Expel, expel, expel, all belligerent Pales, which would be most of them.

What happened to the hamas battle cry of ‘victory or martyrdom’ ?

Hamas is disgrace to all muslims.

    CountMontyC in reply to smooth. | December 12, 2023 at 3:25 pm

    Hamas is a disgrace to humanity.

    JohnSmith100 in reply to smooth. | December 12, 2023 at 3:36 pm

    There is not anywhere near enough martyrdom yet. It sounds like property destruction may be enough to make the people sorry. As long as there are a large number of Pales having large numbers of of children and raising them to be homicidal murders, this problem will not go away. 75% of Pales approved, they need to be dealt with, death would probably be best, lobotomies might be a way to break the cycle:)

      I’m not sure most of them would notice the lobotomies.

      “Lobotomies might be a way to break the cycle:” If this is what you are supporting for your enemies, then be prepared for this to be used on the prisoners of your side. Do you want “lobotomies” to be used on Jan. 6 protestors? I hope not.

        JohnSmith100 in reply to JR. | December 13, 2023 at 12:57 am

        The point of my comment is that Pales are not salvageable. J6 people did not deserve what has been done to them at all, though their suffering is not anywhere near as bad as Hamas has done in Israel. Where J^ people are concerned they should be sprung and those guilty of their persecution do deserve loss of all their assets and at least 10 years in prison. In the case of Hamas, they all deserve death, along with those who supported Hamas.

      You talk the talk. But you sure don’t walk the walk. Why don’t you get up off your really fat ass and go fight against the “Pales”. I guess you wouldn’t do it, because you are a coward.

    “What happened to the hamas battle cry of ‘victory or martyrdom’ ?”
    Apparently, dominating Israeli combat troops is way more of a challenge than dominating Israeli women, children, and seniors.

    diver64 in reply to smooth. | December 13, 2023 at 4:01 am

    They are terrorist cowards. Alright attacking and slaughtering defenseless women and children. Not so brave when someone shoots back.
    I think that much like other groups they have a small hardcore center of true believers but most just wanted to style and get the best food

    WTPuck in reply to smooth. | December 13, 2023 at 9:44 am

    Yup. Why are any of them still breathing?

The Gazans thought that Israel would respond in the limited way it always has and that world opinion would constrain the response. Only now do they understand that if you keep poking the bear long enough and hard enough that the bear will maul you. Israel needs to finish the job and drive the point home that there will be no more games and that any further provocation will be met with swift and deadly retaliation. Israel also needs to conduct war crime tribunals with any captured Hamas member that they can prove was involved in the October 7 massacre. Maybe then just maybe the Palestinians will decide to actually build up what they have instead of trying to destroy Israel.

    Mauiobserver in reply to CountMontyC. | December 12, 2023 at 3:56 pm

    Their own arrogance and pride of their atrocities was the downfall of Hamas.

    The videos Hamas took while they committed unspeakable crimes is what enabled Israel to resist the leftist globalist pressure to stop the IDF response and leave Hamas in power in Gaza.

    The Biden/Obama/Soros regime’s opposition to a Jewish state in the Holy Land hopefully will be the final mail in the coffin of this anti western civilization administration.

    They won’t. Which is why there will never be a “two-state” solution. They’ve proven they are incapable of civilized behavior.

What is Israel going to do with thousands of POWs? If they hold military tribunals for those involved in Oct 7, will they execute those found guilty? Only two people have been executed since Israel became a country; will that change?

    broomhandle in reply to SHV. | December 12, 2023 at 4:01 pm

    I echo this concern. They should have been killed on site in Gaza. No prisoners. Netanyahu said multiple times “If you are a member of Hamas, you are a dead man.” Instead, they will go to jail which will cost money and then the world will criticize Israel for “mass incarceration.” If Israel approves the death penalty, they will have to mass-execute them in Israel, which will lead to even more bogus protests of “genocide.” How much more intel is really needed from the terrorists? Interrogate key leaders in secret if necessary but kill them all.

    Mauiobserver in reply to SHV. | December 12, 2023 at 4:02 pm

    Hopefully a change to execute the worst of these monsters via hanging.

    The remaining criminals should either serve long sentences at hard labor ie German pow rebuilding Soviet facilities and cities or solitary confinement in a max security facility for the leaders not deemed appropriate for a death sentence.

    Peabody in reply to SHV. | December 12, 2023 at 4:23 pm

    It’s possible that many of them will “escape” and run to the tunnels to hide where they will later be found to have died bravely as martyrs after the IDF floods the tunnels with sea water.

    Subotai Bahadur in reply to SHV. | December 12, 2023 at 6:05 pm

    Noting that HAMAS fought totally outside the Geneva and Hague Conventions, it frees Israel from the restrictions of those conventions. “Going Carthage” on Gaza should involve the death of those who attacked Israel. Pig blood/feces should be involved with the deaths.

    CountMontyC in reply to SHV. | December 13, 2023 at 12:47 am

    Expulsion from Gaza and the West Bank with an automatic death penalty should they ever be caught there again. And until they can find a third country willing to take them they stay in a military prison.

Have mentioned a few times in a few places that I hoped the IDF did forensic tests on the murdered Oct7 victims, it would be easy to do DNA tests on the surrendered Terrorists.

    Andy in reply to Skip. | December 12, 2023 at 7:01 pm

    I commented before on what the best hound dogs are doing. It makes me smile.

    Those surrendering obviously knew what was coming. At least this way there are names taken as they are processed. If they stayed in the wild they would just “disappear” and the only remembrance of them would be when their friends “disappear” later.

I’m thinking the mass surrenders are strategic on the part of Gaza. They know they can’t continue to resist, so you start surrendering, and it pushes the world to start screaming at Israel to stop the war. “See? It’s over. They’re surrendering!” Because the next thing will be to treat them as POWs and require Israel to simply set them free back in Gaza – and the cycle begins again.

I think the only way to stop that is to either 1) ignore the surrenders (strategically) and continue to drive out all the Gazans, or 2) to prosecute every single person who fought from a house/mosque/hospital as a war criminal and execute them. (After they prosecute and execute those found to have participated in the Oct 7 attack.)

They have to make this painful enough the next generation will remember it and avoid repeating the behavior.

    broomhandle in reply to GWB. | December 12, 2023 at 4:54 pm

    That is exactly right. Hamas *knows* Israel will not execute large numbers of Hamas terrorists once in captivity. Their best bet is to surrender and let Susan Sarandon and Greta Thunberg be their legal team.

    mailman in reply to GWB. | December 12, 2023 at 4:57 pm

    I guess those directly involved in the October 7 genocide will be dealt with accordingly.

    Those in the wrong place at the wrong time will be released and those with prior history will take a bit longer to be returned to Gaza.

Like always, the Biden administration argues against civilization and in favor of evil.

The Biden Junta, much like 10% China Joe, has been wrong at every turn in the war Hamas started.

First they didn’t want Israel to attack.

Then they flew to Israel to demand in person they don’t attack.

Then they threatened to release billions to Iran if Israel attacked.

Then they wanted the attack to stop.

Then they demanded a ceasefire that Hamas violated.

Then they wanted the operation wrapped up in 2 weeks.

Now they want Gaza handed over to the clowns in the West Bank.

Bro, how much do the Democrats hate Israel? Can you imagine how much having to stand up in front of the world to proclaim their support for the Jews must have absolutely gutted them to their very racist Jew bigot core!

The best thing Democrats could do for everyone is to just stay out of the way.

    henrybowman in reply to mailman. | December 12, 2023 at 5:56 pm

    “The Biden Junta, much like 10% China Joe, has been wrong at every turn in the war Hamas started.”

    It’s not like this started on October 7.
    Every single decision Brandon has made since taking office has been detrimental to wealth, justice, and liberty.

    clintack in reply to mailman. | December 13, 2023 at 7:37 am

    You missed the first and most important one:

    In September, we gave Iran $6 Billion — the administration claimed it could only be used for humanitarian purposes and that Republicans warning that it would be used for terror were just Islamophobes.

Rebuild part of Gaza as a large prison

God I hate to say this but Israel is being played for a fool. Hamas knows that their soldiers will be treated humanely and they will eventually get them all back so why not surrender? They will be housed, fed, and medically attended to, so why not give up? This is on the same level as taking hostages because they knew that Israel and the free world would cave to getting the hostages back over their own annihilation. The liberal gene that seems to afflict all Jews is going to kill them one day. They are a humane and honest group but sometimes you have to be very hard and cruel and I just don’t think they have it in them to be that way.

    You expect Israel to just murder them in cold blood like Hamas did on October 7? Yeah that’s a great fucking idea 🙄

      inspectorudy in reply to mailman. | December 13, 2023 at 4:24 pm

      I didn’t say anything about killing them in cold blood. Maybe an online reading improvement program will help you. I said it was obvious why they surrendered and that Israel would eventually give them all back to commit many more terrorist actions. Once hostages are negotiated for, it sets the stage for more kidnappings. Iran is a great example of this technique. Hamas does not care about the captured men and if Israel threatened to execute them, Hamas wouldn’t care except to use their deaths for propaganda.

    JohnSmith100 in reply to inspectorudy. | December 12, 2023 at 6:59 pm

    They truth is that when you are dealing gutter dwellers like Pales, you have to join them in the gutter to reign them in, This has always been true, we have our freedoms because some people laid down their lives to preserve our way of life. It looks to me like we are on the verge of having to do this again.

      There are ways of doing things like this, like cleaning everything out as you are pushing through an enemy position so that there are no “survivors” (which you do for your own protection in case Nigel decides to detonate his explosive vest. If he’s not breathing he’s not gonna go boom).

      Very different story to summarily murdering Nigel once he’s surrendered. And there in lies the difference between the civilised and scum like Nigel who was only too happy to rape a baby and then throw it in an oven in front of its parents on October 7.

        Ironclaw in reply to mailman. | December 13, 2023 at 10:17 am

        Easy enough, none of them surrendered and had to be shot.

        inspectorudy in reply to mailman. | December 13, 2023 at 4:31 pm

        Man, you have a way of simplifying this war to where it is nothing but a street cleaning. Did you miss the 5 million “Innocent” Palestinians? Hamas is now fighting among them including shooting rockets at Israel amid the civilians. So your simple plan to fight Hamas surrounded by civilians is what? Did you miss the over 300 miles of tunnels that they pop up out of and shoot? Most of these tunnels come up within homes and innocent places. Russia, China, North Korea, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, etc would all have ignored the civilians and hostages and annihilated everything in sight. Israel is doing the best it can under the terrible pressure from Slo Joe and the Muslim world known as the UN.

They should execute those fighters that participated in Oct 7th.

The Koran says so for causing murder and mischief in the land of Israel.

    I don’t think Israel has the death sentence does it? Probably not because we haven’t heard Democrats wanking on about how it’s only Palestinians who are treated like this? 🙄

The vile Dhimmi-crats are so utterly stupid and evil.

They’d have Israel hand Gaza over to the same utterly corrupt, malignant and terrorism-promoting Fatah/PA — still run by a thug in Abbas, who’s rejected popular elections — that’s turned the West Bank into a cesspool of self-inflicted misery, oppression and poverty.

    JohnSmith100 in reply to guyjones. | December 12, 2023 at 7:10 pm

    All terrorism supporter in the West Bank should be put down. I think that all Pales should be cast out of the region and that Israel should use that area to take in Jews from the EU and from any other area where they are being persecuted.

Subotai Bahadur | December 12, 2023 at 6:37 pm

Stipulating that I am not a nice person. Further noting that there will be tremendous pressure to have those who were captured released. So release them. The questions are where and how.

Where: In Israeli territory. Specifically in the barren Negev Desert far [outside walking distance] from any habitations.

How: Dressed as they were after capture [stripped down to underwear for search].

: And the IDF to defend the territory [which IS part of Israel] from any incursion by would-be foreign rescuers.

: Maybe give any released prisoner 1 [one] pork sausage as rations.

Subotai Bahadur [noting that my nom d’ blog is Mongol; specifically Genghis Khan’s chief of staff]

Step one, fill the entire tunnel complex with natural gas and then light it.

Step two, kick out all Palestinians from that area to any neighboring country that will accept them. If not, drive them into the sea.

Step 3, tell that pedophile in the White House to mind his own freaking business

    JohnSmith100 in reply to Ironclaw. | December 12, 2023 at 8:32 pm

    A correct fuel air mixture is necessary to get the proper effect. Then it will burn so well that there will be no need for burial. And the shock wave starting at one and an building in pressure and temperature. Then fill the tunnels with salt water, double the fun.

    After that, demand that Qatar hand over Hamas, if they do start striking them there until none are left.

This is a fabulous report on the consequences of precivilizational atrocities.

Brandon’s foreign policy streak continues — wrong again, still.

I saw the very quick video shot of the munitions in the UNICEF box. Old traitors rarely change their colors.
