JERUSALEM (VINnews) — A report by the British-based Sun reveals that Israeli prosecutors plan to execute Hamas terrorists who slaughtered, raped and tortured innocent civilians on October 7.

It will be the first time Israel has exercised the death penalty in more than 60 years and serves as a testament to the depth of depravity of the terror group’s crimes.
Israeli intelligence officers have worked tirelessly to scour piles of evidence collected since Hamas triggered war in October 2023. Agents have been putting together a compelling case to charge multiple terrorists who murdered and assaulted citizens after tearing through Israel’s defences.
Evidence found on laptops seized during military operations in Gaza has allowed intelligence chiefs to compile a strong case to go to trial.
At least 22 Hamas terrorists are set to be charged – all of whom attacked kibbutz Nir Oz, one of the worst hit sites of the atrocity. The kibbutz, just a mile from the Gaza border, was attacked from three directions and the Hamas brutes murdered and kidnapped people at random.
The terrorists torched homes as families cowered inside before dragging hostages, including Shiri Bibas and her son Ariel and Kfir and Oded Lifshitz, back to Gaza, wher they were cruelly murdered in captivity. Their bodies were sickeningly released in a stomach-churning ceremony earlier this year.
Israel’s leading prosecutors believe that because of the callous nature of Hamas’ crimes, the terrorists will likely be executed. Sources involved in the case confirmed to The Sun those found guilty could be sent to the gallows and hanged.
It would be the first time the country has executed anyone since the only time it did so in 1962, when Adolf Eichmann was executed.
Military prosecutor Alan Baker, who has been a judge on scores of high-profile terrorist cases, said Israel is also no longer concerned by international pressure in dealing with these matters.
Baker, former legal adviser to Israel’s Foreign Office and ex-Israeli ambassador to Canada, told The Sun: “About 30 years ago, I was the prosecutor on the trial of a particularly nasty and cruel terrorist, and I managed to get him convicted with the death penalty.
“It wasn’t carried out at the time, because of a theory that it could encourage terrorists to do more horrific acts, if they feel like they are going to die anyway.
“There is of course, also always the concern of what the international community thinks too.
“In these particular cases, because of the cruel nature of these atrocities, I don’t think the sensitivity of what world will think will be considered, as there is now the feeling that the rest of the world inevitably hate us whatever we do.
“We are still as hated as we were eighty years ago.
“These people not only crossed the border illegally, but there are thousands of residents of Gaza who tagged along, who stole whatever they liked, televisions, etc. and set fire to houses.
“There is a vast array of offenses that have been committed, including the heavy stuff, rape and murders, and these crimes against humanity will have to be dealt with very seriously.”
Baker, who now heads the international law program at the Jerusalem Center for Foreign and Security Affairs, has implored the prosecuting team to fully consider “the seriousness of these criminals”.
He added: “They committed these crimes in Israel, they invaded, they committed offences according to Israeli law, and this will have to be overseen by Israeli judges.
“I would tell them not to take into consideration what the Pope, the French government, the British etc will say, because inevitably whatever we do, whether we keep them in prison or we hang them, Israel will be condemned anyway.
“I trust they will do what they need to do, without looking at any external consideration. That is the last thing that should enter into the equation.”
As well as the 22 set for indictment, at least 300 more terrorists who took part in the October 7 attacks are being held in Israeli prisons.
Maurice Hirsch, director of the Initiative for Palestinian Authority Accountability and Reform in the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, said the complexity of Israel’s legal system means the cases could go in many directions.
But because these are deemed the most horrific acts since the Holocaust, the death penalty upon conviction is the most likely outcome, he said.
Hirsch, a senior legal analyst at Human Rights Voices, said: “The death penalty may seem like a crazy scenario to contemplate, but it is very possible.
“They should be subject to the death penalty, but it will depend on whether Israel will be able to withstand international pressure.
“There is a question of which crimes we prosecute for. If there is no specific one victim, and as they [the terrorists] don’t even know who they’ve murdered, that could make things challenging.
“Where, when were they arrested? We can see if any of them can be linked to direct crimes. Fogs are still uncovering, but the country will do well if we can clear this up.
“It would be convenient if we could isolate 22 cases, but if I was a defense lawyer, I would ask for the evidence of mass murder.”
The death penalty must be applied to these barbaric Mohammedan savages, with no exceptions. It’s the only logical common sense solution for what these animals did with their invasion and massacre slaughtering innocent Jewish civilian victims. We must remember October 7 and never forget what they did, and that they vowed to attack us again many more times. It’s about time that “Never again.” means exactly that. It’s time to ignore world opinion from the anti-Semitic and Israel-haters of the international community. It’s the only suitable punishment and deterrent that should be used against these terrorists and against all terrorists who attack us. Death to all Muslim terrorists, including the terrorists who are using arson to burn down our country every summer during the hot weather.
Actually the only way to stop kidnappings is to execute anyone in prison who is a member of a terrorist organization not matter what the person is there for. Anything less will continue to put civilians at risk of kidnapping.
And let these fiends know, they’ll be wrapped in pig skin before burial, so they would not get their 72…
Israel should be using the death penalty on any terrorist who kills Jews. Cold-blooded murder is cold-blooded murder, whether it is accompanied by heinous atrocities, or it is a simple ramming attack. This ”humanitarian” aversion to the death penalty is simply insane.
it’s about time to do AN EYE FOR AN EYE – the Arabs do it – so they’ll eat their cake
The key is not so much the actual death penalty (although not sure why any Israeli taxpayer would be a fan paying for their living until they get traded in the next hostage deal) for this saddistic death cult. Rather it’s how they die and how their boddies are “diposed off*” which must be Eichmann style (look up what they did to his carcas) but in pig skins as many mentioned. It seemed to have worked when the Russians deployed it. Not sure about *halacha if Kavod Hameis applies to this substandard class if Pere-adams, especially when considering pikuach nefesh & deterrent for the living.
If this turns out to be true I will be relieved because I lost friends and acquaintances on kibbutz Nir Oz that day and then would gladly volunteer to be there executioner. I would actually take joy in it. I could live with Turing them to fertilizer
I only hope that they start to execute terrorists.
They should string up their bodies outside of their village, naked for all to see and embarrass the family. Then throw the bodies into the sea to join Bin Laden.
a- Deterrence
b-they cant act again
c-One less terrorist
And while we are at it, hang that UN nutcase Guterres together with them.
I hope they execute every single terrorist, but this is too easy. People won’t understand unless their loved ones are taken, tortured and killed. We do not turn the other cheek, like Christians, and we will never forgive. We will hunt them, find them, torture them and kill them, just like our grandfathers, who survived, did to the Nazis, after WWII. This was the grandchildren’s Oct. 7th Holocaust.
Three quarters of British society refuse to believe it happened, especially the Islamists who breached their borders. The same evil people deny Hitler’s Holocaust, which the Muslims in the Middle East and Northern Africa supported. The Mufti asked Hitler to build concentration camps and gas chambers in Muslim countries after Hitler finished exterminating the Jews of Europe. The Mufti outfitted Hitler with a Muslim Army to attack and kill Jews.
The Hamasniks and their advocates have to be tortured and starved, and every evil the savages inflicted on innocent Yidden, who employed them and drove them to hospitals and doctors, has to be inflicted upon them before they die. Let the world know that although revenge belongs to Hashem, Israel will wipe out Hamas Amalekees and their supporters.. Am Yisroel Chai. Don’t mess with Israel!!
I just put a message on Face book I hope they do, Facebook has deleted it, shows who they support Hamas
We learned from the best the British, and the Germans, and many others
I can only see this d one in secrecy. The arab world will begin murdering jews in Israel and around the world
If the stupid corrupt Rabbis would start accepting converts as per the Rambams instructions, we would have millions more who would advocate for the Jewish people. Unfortunately these Rabbis don’t have the intellectual honesty to realize that all they care about is their own honor and money.
