A top Hamas spokesman stormed out of a BBC interview after being asked how the terrorists justified the killing of Israeli families as they slept in their beds.
The deputy foreign minister for Hamas in Gaza, Ghazi Hamad, was being interviewed by the BBC’s Middle East correspondent Hugo Bachega about the barbaric murders of up to 1,500 Israelis.
In the interview, Mr Hamad suggested there was no command to kill any civilians when Hamas invaded Israel on October 7, which saw the terrorists paraglide into the desert, surround the Nova Festival and slaughter 260 festivalgoers as they fled for their lives.
Footage has since emerged of the massacre of Be’eri Kibbutz where people were slaughtered in their beds.
Images from the scene show the blood-splattered rooms. Inside the bedroom of one home, three dead bodies were left to rot by Hamas fighters, who killed at least 100 people in the community. A woman is seen lying face down in a pool of her own blood. Her blonde hair is blood stained and the wall behind her has at least six bullet holes.
Also harrowing photos showed the aftermath of a bloodbath caused when Hamas terrorists opened fire at a pre-school, leaving teddy bears riddled with bullets and killing an unknown number of innocents.
Reacting to the killings during the BBC interview, Mr Hamad said, “because the area was very wide” there “were clashes and confrontations”.
BBC correspondent Mr Bachega then said it was not a confrontation when they invaded people’s homes.
Mr Hamad replied: “I can tell you we didn’t have any intention or decision to kill the civilians.”
He was then asked how he can justify killing people as they slept. Mr Hamad then looks to the side and pulls off his microphone.
“I want to stop this interview,” he said.
He then threw the microphone onto the floor, ending the discussion.
