The images of a man of ArabIsraeli origin tortured by Hamas on October 7th were published this Saturday the 17th. The victim is accused by the terrorists of working for the Jews. The Israel Defense Forces (FDI) posted the video on its Twitter/X profile with the message: “It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from.”
In the text, the Israeli military also states that “Hamas terrorizes anyone who stands in its way, following its extremist and inhumane ideology.”
The video obtained by the Israeli army was recorded by the terrorists themselves during the unprecedented attacks on Israeli territory near the Gaza border. The images show how the ArabIsraeli citizen is captured and brutally treated.

The powerful images in the terrorist video show the man trying to hide in a bunker. An abandoned car with open doors sits in the middle of the street, near the bomb shelter.
From hiding, the man appeals not to be murdered and claims to be an Islamist: “Don’t shoot, I’m a Muslim.”
The terrorists order him to walk with his arms raised. The man obeys and kneels with his hands on his head as a Hamas member says, “That’s a dog, what’s his name?”

Other heavily armed members approach the victim and ask about the location of Re’im, a secular kibbutz in southern Israel: “Take us to Re’im,” the terrorist orders. “Where is Re’im?”
The man says nothing. The terrorists insist and threaten: “This is the last time I ask, I will shoot you in the head.”
With rifle butts, they put him in the back seat of the small car parked in the middle of the street. A terrorist, who appears to be the leader of the group, asks his companions: “Who has handcuffs? I’m going to handcuff him.”

They call the hostage an “animal” and want to know who owns the vehicle. The man replies that he belongs to “God” and is not a “soldier.”
The voltage increases. The terrorists seem angrier: “Don’t say another word to me, I don’t want to hear you,” one of them orders.
Visibly frightened, the man tries to say something while being hit on the head: “I want to shoot you, I’ll cut your throat,” warns a Hamas member.

At that moment, they ordered the man to get out of the car and lie on the ground. Another terrorist approaches and kicks the victim. The supposed leader of the operation interrupts him and asks for handcuffs again: “Handcuff this pig.”
The man is forced to put his hands on his head again. The terrorists say they will “kill him soon.”
The ArabIsraeli begs for mercy again as he is handcuffed: “I beg you in the name of Allah,” he said.
The terrorists are joking. “Do you know Allah now?” says one of them. “You worked for the disbelieving Jews, and now you know Allah? You dog, you worked for the infidels.”
At this point the images are cropped. The video lasts 2 minutes and six seconds.
