‘Enemy is a disease with no cure, except beheading’: Israel shows Hamas' note
Israel-Hamas War: Sharing the note on social media platform X, the IDF said that terror group Hamas is "very clear" about its intentions.
Israel Defence Forces (IDF) showed a note from one of the members of the Hamas which has the message for the terror group to "sharpen the blades" for their enemies who are "incurable disease".
"You must sharpen the blades of your swords and be pure in your intentions before Allah. Know that the enemy is a disease that has no cure, except beheading and tearing out their hearts and livers," the note read.
Sharing the note on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the IDF said that terror group Hamas is "very clear" about its intentions.
"This note was found on a Hamas terrorist from the October 7 massacre. It was handed to him by Hamas commanders in Gaza as an encouragement to behead their victims and tear out their hearts and livers. Hamas is very clear about its intentions," IDF posted on X.
Earlier, Israel announced that it would deny visas to the UN officials after remarks by secretary-general Antonio Guterres that questioned Israeli actions in Gaza.
"Due to his remarks, we will refuse to issue visas to UN representatives," Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan said, adding, "We have already refused a visa for Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths. The time has come to teach them a lesson."
Israel called on Antonio Guterres to resign "immediately" calling him "unfit" to lead the UN.
The UN chief had said that "It is important to also recognise the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum," claiming that "Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation."
“They have seen their land steadily devoured by settlements and plagued by violence; their economy stifled; their people displaced; and their homes demolished. Their hopes for a political solution to their plight have been vanishing,” he said.
