"Remove the Enemy's Heart and Liver"…Handwritten Note Found on Hamas Corpse

Hamas Member Who Boasted About Killing Jews to Family Also Involved

Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, massacring numerous civilians, and a handwritten note by a Hamas operative has been revealed. The note contained instructions to behead the enemy and remove their heart and liver, sparking controversy.

On the 25th (local time), the Israeli daily Jerusalem Post reported that Daniel Hagari, the chief spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), disclosed the note during an interview with the American CBS network.

According to the report, a note was found on the body of a Hamas operative who was killed after the surprise attack on Israel on the 7th. The note, written in Arabic, stated, "The enemy must be known as a disease that can only be cured by beheading and removing the heart and liver." It also included phrases such as "Sharpen your blade before Allah and purify your intentions," and "Attack them."

Meanwhile, a recording of a man presumed to be a Hamas operative boasting to his family about killing Jews was also released, causing further controversy. Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen revealed this at a United Nations Security Council meeting held at the UN headquarters in New York on the 24th.

Intelligence agency Shin Bet and the IDF recovered the recording file from the cellphone of an Israeli victim used by a Hamas operative on the 7th. The file contained about a three-minute conversation between the man and his father.

The man joyfully told his father, "Look at how many I killed with my own hands, this son killed Jews," adding, "I killed her and her husband. I killed 10 people with my own hands." The father did not withhold praise for his son. A woman presumed to be the mother also said, "Oh, may God bless my son."

Meanwhile, the IDF stated that over 1,400 people have died and about 200 are held hostage in the Gaza Strip following Hamas's surprise attack. The Palestinian side also reported that at least 6,546 people, including 2,704 children, have died in the Gaza Strip due to Israeli retaliatory airstrikes. This number is more than four times the number of Ukrainian children killed (535) as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
