Geri Reig 2.0

01. besser als nichts (surreal). You can hear a sample from the IDF (Israel Defense Forces). a man (father), a woman (mother) + some more persons are talking to Mahmoud. This is the terrorist who is currently (October 7th, 2023) standing somewhere in a southern Israeli kibbutz, where he (probably) killed 10 people with his own hands and is telling his parents about this by telephone (he is using the mobile phone of one of his victims). only the voices from Gaza can be heard.

these notes, taken from 'THE TIMES OF ISRAEL' (25 October 2023, 5:29 am) describe the details:

"The military on Tuesday published a recording of a Hamas terrorist who took part in the October 7 onslaught in southern Israel bragging to his parents of slaughtering Jews, as Israel continues to put out further details from the murderous assault earlier this month. In the call, the man can be heard excitedly telling his parents that he is in Mefalsim, a kibbutz near the Gaza border, and that he alone killed 10 Jews. “Look how many I killed with my own hands! Your son killed Jews!” he says, according to an English translation. “Mom, your son is a hero,” he later adds. His parents are heard praising him during the call. Identified by his father as Mahmoud, the terrorist says he is calling his family from the phone of a Jewish woman he’s just murdered, and implores them to check his WhatsApp messages for further documentation. “I wish I was with you,” the mother says. The audio was played earlier at the UN Security Council by Foreign Minister Eli Cohen..."

the audio was posted on 'X' (former 'Twitter') on 24 October 2023, 7:49 pm by the IDF (Israel Defense Forces). they commented the recording by "Look how many I killed with my own hands! Your son killed Jews!” Listen to a phone call of a Hamas terrorist calling home, bragging about how many people he massacred.The whole world needs to hear this.".
