A Hamas guard who killed an Israeli hostage earlier this week acted out “in revenge” after being informed two of his kids had been killed in an Israeli air strike, the phobia group mentioned Thursday.
The slaying of the male hostage in Gaza on Monday was carried out in opposition to Hamas’ directions, in accordance with a spokesperson for the group’s armed al-Qassam Brigades.
“The (Hamas) soldier assigned as guard acted in a retaliatory manner against instructions after he received information that his two children were martyred in one of the massacres conducted by the enemy,” the spokesperson, Abu Ubaida, mentioned in a put up on Telegram.
“The incident doesn’t represent our ethics and the instructions of our religion in dealing with captives. We will reinforce the instructions.”
