Israel Day 61/62: Hamas Fighters Cornered in Tunnels Do the Unthinkable and Surrender
December 10, 2023
For the first time, over 150 Hamas fighters surrendered to the IDF (Israel Defense Forces). The decision by the Israeli war cabinet to follow Hamas to the south of the Gaza enclave, where they were running away and regrouping, has turned out very productive, no matter how much pressure they are under to the disastrous and unjustified ceasefire demands at the moment.
Many of the Hamas fighters were cornered in the tunnels near Khan Yunis under withering and unrelenting bombardment from land, sea, and air. As the creeping bombardment was nearing their tunnel shafts, they preferred to surrender while they could exit rather than die buried alive.
Such an event is extremely relevant because it is rare, especially since these men have been indoctrinated from age three that dying in Jihad for the sake of Allah is preferable to life. To surrender to Israelis, especially, is the ultimate betrayal of Islam and the Palestinian cause is seen as an act of abject cowardice.
As much as they hate Jews and Israelis, they were and are willing to give up the fight because, based on the Middle East war records that they already know very well – they will be safe, unlike Arabs and Muslims, who break all rules of warfare that do not suit them, the Israelis will abide by international rules of combat and hence, will not torture or slaughter them.
Surrender is usually contagious, and hopefully, hundreds if not thousands more Hamas fighters may wake up to the fact that – their corrupt and wealthy leaders, many of whom reside in luxury and safety with their families outside the Gaza enclave, are sending them to die like fodder, not for the good of the people, but for their own personal political and economic agendas.
Also, for the first time, there are several occasions of Gaza men and women, mostly elderly, being interviewed by Arabic press reporters, insulting Hamas and especially its leaders for carelessly starting the war against Israel.
They explained their outrage because these leaders knew very well that Israel would retaliate with massive force while their own people would be the target, whether intentionally or not, because Hamas saturated the residential areas with missiles, rockets, and ammunition, thus using their own civilians as human shields for their fighters.
In several such interviews, although the Arab press reporters wanted the interviewees to speak well and in support of Hamas, they would not relent in accusing Hamas of stealing the people’s food, medicine, and fuel. One elderly woman added, “They can kill me for what I am saying”.
Looking at the semi-naked bodies of the captured Hamas fighters, many of them had boobs and pot bellies. Not one of them was starving because they stole the food allocated to people.
Once again, if more and more such people would publicly voice their fully justified outrage on Arab TV, the tide against Hamas from within their own people would be unstoppable and may help bring about a non-terrorist-inclined group of leaders to govern the Gaza enclave peacefully.
What the fake news does not tell Americans or Europeans is that several prominent Arab leaders and newscasters in multiple countries have totally condemned Hamas in extremely strong Arabic language for knowingly bringing this catastrophe upon their own people.
In fact, several of them are of the opinion that Hamas never expected how well-organized and executed the Israeli response would be. They, like the Israelis on 7 October, underestimated their opponent.
They thought that the ground war would lead to the unacceptable death of hundreds of their soldiers, by Israeli standards, when so far, the Israelis avoided the Hamas trap with new ground tactics minimizing casualties. Israel has so far lost 70 soldiers while Hamas, in the thousands, are buried under rubble and tunnels.
Hamas was almost also 100% certain that they would be saved like what had happened several times before by ‘world opinion’ putting extreme pressure upon Israel to stop the war.
Hamas never considered those live video recordings of their atrocities and extreme barbarity that they inflicted upon unarmed civilians, mostly very young females, elderly, and babies, for the whole world to watch in real-time, would lose them goodwill among very important world leaders irrespective of the irrelevant hundreds of thousands of braindead degenerate human mutants demonstrating their support for Hamas.
It is very interesting how so-called fair-minded organizations, such as Amnesty International & Human Rights Watch, never raise any concerns if the oppressive party is a Muslim entity, but only if it is Israeli, American, or Western. They rarely, if ever, condemn the terrorist Ayatollah’s regime in Iran or any Muslim country that has no human rights at all.
These despicable ‘institutions take the words of the most oppressive regimes as fact above and beyond reality. Hundreds of press people in Muslim countries are murdered, imprisoned, or tortured by these regimes, but not a single pip squeak emanates from either of them: Amnesty International & Human Rights Watch.
Not once did either of these organizations ever condemn Hezbollah for turning southern Lebanon into military missiles and rocket launching areas within civilian areas. Yet they expect no casualties in a war zone. Their levels of duplicity, hypocrisy, and mendacity are beneath contempt, and Israel is justified in ignoring them and their accusations.
In the recent escalating war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, where once more the Muslims use their own civilians as Human Shields, an Arab press reporter was killed and several injured by an Israeli tank shell in retaliation to missiles fired from that area. According to both of these contemptible organizations, they made an ‘investigation’ from Lebanon, proving the Israelis deliberately targeted the press.
Israel’s ground operations in this war will be studied very intensively by the US Army for future urban conflicts. The USA and Israel are coordinating extensive aerial surveillance to locate the hostages if they are still alive.
The latest reports buzzing in the Middle East are of the opinion that Hamas is most definitely losing the war against Israel and that the Ayatollahs know this. Not a single fake media is even touching this subject.
They are also concluding that the Hamas leaders will, most probably in one week’s time, beg for another ceasefire to save whatever is left of their fighting forces by promising to release more hostages.
Of course, this will depend on whether the deal will be worthwhile and acceptable to Israel. I have absolutely no doubt that Israel will be ready to release 7000 terrorists in exchange for the immediate release of ALL the hostages. Dear readers, you must never forget and appreciate that human life for Israelis is precious while it is worthless from the point of view of Sharia-compliant Muslims.
Hopefully, the buzzing reports will turn out to be true, and we at America Out Loud are the first to bring it to your attention.
