A gut-wrenching video circulating on social media has ignited a firestorm of condemnation just days after a U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire unlocked the release of nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails in exchange for the last 20 living Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
The clip, posted by the pro-Israel watchdog account @HamasAtrocities, dedicated to chronicling the October 7, 2023, terror attacks that killed 1,200 Israelis and sparked the war, captures a father and son, fresh from detention, openly threatening more violence against Israelis in chilling tones that underscore the fragility of the hard-won truce.In the 25-second footage, filmed amid jubilant crowds waving Palestinian flags, the unnamed man hoists his young son aloft and declares to cheering onlookers: "Do you see my son? He will come to you again like on the seventh of October!"
The phrase, a direct invocation of the Hamas-led assault that saw militants storm southern Israeli communities, killing civilians and taking 251 hostage, is met with roars of approval. The post's caption amplifies the alarm: "A Palestinian prisoner and his son, who were just released from Israeli prison, promise that they'll come back to kill more Israelis like on October 7th. Here's your 'peace in the Middle East'!"S
