Bone-chilling footage shows a Hamas terrorist and his teenage son casually telling Israeli interrogators how they took turns raping a woman

"Bone-chilling new footage shows a Hamas terrorist and his teenage son casually telling Israeli interrogators how they took turns raping a woman then executed her during the Oct. 7 terror rampage.

Jamal Hussein Ahmad Radi, 47, and his 18-year-old son, Abdallah, were seized by the Israel Defense Forces in the Gaza Strip this spring and subsequently questioned about the terror attack, the Daily Mail revealed.
Jamal described finding a woman who was “screaming” and “crying” in a house at Kibbutz Nir Oz, a community near the Israel-Gaza border, “I did what I did, I raped her,” he said nonchalantly.
“I threatened her with my gun to take her clothes off, I remember she was wearing jean shorts, that’s about it,” he added.
Jamal claimed that he did not know what happened to the woman after the rape, but his teen son told the interrogator that his father killed the desperate victim.
“My father raped her, then I did and then my cousin did and then we left but my father killed the woman after we finished raping her,” Abdallah said in his own interview tape.
Of the 400 residents of Kibbutz Nir Oz, at least 20 were killed on Oct. 7 and 80 were kidnapped.
Jamal appeared unfazed as he explained in horrifying detail how he entered one home and killed the couple who were hiding inside.
“In the first house, I found a woman and her husband, and we hit them with fire and killed them … they were in their late 40s,” he recalled." NYP
