The Barbaric Savagery of Hamas: Torturing, Starving, and Raping Hostages While Executing Alleged Collaborators

In a gut-wrenching interview released on October 13, 2025, freed Israeli hostage Matan Angrest recounted the hellish ordeal of his two-year captivity under Hamas’s iron fist, a nightmare that exemplifies the terrorist group’s unbridled cruelty. Captured from his IDF tank on October 7, 2023, Angrest was beaten unconscious by his captors, starved, shackled, and buried alive in collapsing tunnels amid Israeli airstrikes. “I blacked out from the blows,” he told Channel 13 News, describing months in pitch-black isolation, sleeping barefoot on cold ground, and surviving on scraps while guards feasted in front of him.

This testimony, part of a broader release of 20 hostages under a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, paints Hamas not as “freedom fighters” but as sadistic animals who delight in human suffering. As the radical Islamist regime reasserts control in Gaza, reports emerge of public executions of alleged Israeli collaborators—brutal spectacles designed to terrorize Palestinians into submission and crush any hope of peace. Conservatives have long warned that Hamas’s ideology of jihad and supremacy breeds such atrocities, and these revelations underscore why the group must be eradicated, not negotiated with. The horrors inflicted on Israeli hostages by Hamas go far beyond physical restraint; they are a calculated campaign of psychological and bodily destruction, rooted in the terrorists’ Quran-inspired hatred for Jews and infidels. Starvation was a weapon of choice, with hostages like Angrest and Rahm Braslavski deprived of food for days, their emaciated bodies ravaged by malnutrition, respiratory infections, and skin diseases from humid, lightless tunnels.

Doctors treating the freed captives noted extreme weight loss and warned of refeeding syndrome, a potentially fatal condition from sudden nutrition after prolonged hunger. Hamas guards, feasting openly while denying even basic sanitation, turned captivity into a slow death sentence. Breitbart’s compilation of torture accounts reveals a pattern: hostages chained 24/7, forced to endure collapsing walls during bombings, and subjected to relentless beatings that left permanent scars. This isn’t warfare—it’s medieval barbarism, echoing the Islamic State’s playbook but executed by Gaza’s elected tyrants. Worse still is the epidemic of sexual violence, where Hamas beasts systematically raped and tortured female hostages in acts of pure evil. A United Nations envoy, after investigating the October 7 massacre, found “reasonable grounds” to believe Hamas committed widespread rape and “sexualized torture,” including gang rapes and mutilations that left victims’ bodies desecrated.

Freed hostage Amit Soussana detailed her ordeal: dragged into Gaza, assaulted repeatedly by guards who treated her as property under Sharia’s twisted justifications. “They saw us as animals to abuse,” she said, her testimony corroborated by medical exams showing bruises and fractures consistent with violent rape. The International Criminal Court, despite its anti-Israel bias, accused Hamas commander Mohammed Deif of overseeing rape, torture, and extermination as crimes against humanity. Newsmax reported on the U.N. findings, highlighting how Hamas fighters filmed their depravities, boasting of “conquests” over Jewish women—a hallmark of jihadist warfare since Muhammad’s era. These acts weren’t isolated; they were policy, designed to humiliate and break the spirit of Israel while signaling to the world that Hamas rules through terror. The October 7 anniversary memorials, as covered by Newsmax, served as a somber reminder of the 1,200 slaughtered and 250 kidnapped, many subjected to these horrors.

🇺🇸 🇮🇱 President Trump:

“Hamas will disarm, and if they don’t, we will disarm them, and It will happen quickly and perhaps violently, but they will disarm. Do you understand me?”pic.twitter.com/GSlJCRAfYY

Survivors like those from Kibbutz Nir Oz described women stripped, paraded, and violated in front of cheering crowds, their screams drowned by cries of “Allahu Akbar.” The Gateway Pundit exposed similar savagery in a case involving a Palestinian refugee in Europe who raped a mentally disabled girl, drawing parallels to Hamas’s unchecked brutality. Conservatives like Megyn Kelly have lambasted the left’s silence, calling it complicity in the face of Islamist misogyny. As Iran parrots Hamas’s lies about “making all efforts” not to kill hostages—despite evidence of starvation and torture—Tehran’s mullahs expose the axis of evil propping up these monsters. Now, as a fragile ceasefire holds, Hamas’s true nature erupts anew through executions of alleged collaborators, a purge to consolidate power in Gaza’s ruins. Just hours after President Trump declared the “war is over” following hostage releases, Hamas gunmen dragged seven men into Gaza City’s streets, forcing them to kneel before executing them in cold blood—video evidence verified by the BBC and reported by Breitbart.

Fox News detailed the crackdown: Hamas militants, desperate to reassert dominance amid a power vacuum, have killed rivals and “gangsters,” with 32 slain in a single “security campaign.” The Washington Examiner described public spectacles where bound Palestinians, accused of aiding Israel, were shot point-blank, their bodies left as warnings. Newsmax reported clashes with armed groups, as Hamas deploys forces to eliminate “traitors” who might have provided intel for IDF strikes. This isn’t justice—it’s Stalinist terror, echoing Hamas’s 2013 executions of two collaborators, as per Fox archives. The Daily Wire captured the reign of terror: “Hamas publicly executes Gazans after Israeli troop pullback,” highlighting how the group poses a “catastrophic risk” to any ceasefire. President Trump’s threat of “violent” repercussions if Hamas doesn’t disarm underscores the right’s stance: Negotiate from strength, or crush them utterly.

As Breitbart notes, these killings—mere hours after a peace pact—expose Hamas’s deceit, using “collaborator” labels to silence dissent and maintain their caliphate dream. The Gateway Pundit ties it to the ICC’s rogue warrants against Israeli leaders, ignoring Hamas’s crimes while targeting Netanyahu for defending his people. These atrocities stem from Hamas’s charter: a genocidal manifesto calling for Israel’s destruction and jihad until “Jews hide behind trees.” Conservatives like those at Townhall argue that left-wing apologists—equating Israel’s self-defense with Hamas’s barbarism—enable this evil.

Hey, pro-Pali people, Hamas is literally executing Palestinians on the street and livestreaming it. They’ve also dropped the whole genocide narrative since they’re now posting videos of very healthy children dancing in the streets this week to celebrate the ceasefire.

The White House’s rejection of ICC warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant affirms America’s stance: Hamas, not Israel, is the perpetrator of murder, torture, and rape. Breitbart’s torture tag archives reveal a litany: From Congo’s kidnappings to Gaza’s dungeons, Islamist radicals thrive on pain. As freed hostages like Angrest recover, their stories demand action: Total defunding of Palestinian aid that funnels to terrorists, unwavering support for Israel, and a global crackdown on Hamas enablers. Trump’s “war is over” declaration rings hollow while these animals prowl Gaza’s streets, executing at will. The right knows: Peace comes through strength, not surrender. Hamas’s torture chambers and firing squads prove they are irredeemable—beasts who must be caged or destroyed to safeguard civilization.
