Hamas song glorifies kidnappers of 3 teens: "Hide your prey, a child"

Al-Aqsa TV, Hamas  |


 

Song: "Under the rock, O hawk,

hide your prey - a child
Your brothers in captivity (i.e., in Israeli prisons) tell you to keep him...
You are from Hebron, O hawk, and all are proud of you...
By Allah, O brother, I won't rest until you see light, until I see you free...
With the rifle open the [prison] cell
Kidnap soldiers till we free my brothers...
Allah will strengthen your faith
The homeland’s sun is singing your name...
The joy of the Loyalty of the Free must return (i.e., exchanging 1,027 prisoners for the kidnapped Israeli soldier Shalit)."

Texts in Arabic: "Palestinian businessman Alaa' Al-Din presents"; "Kidnap soldiers, by Amer Al-Ashqar"

Notes: On June 12, 2014, Israeli teens Eyal Yifrach, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Frenkel, 16, were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists while they were hitchhiking near Hebron. The boys' bodies were found hidden under rocks by Israeli security forces near Hebron on June 30, 2014. They appeared to have been shot to death soon after their abduction.

In October 2011, the Israeli government agreed to release 1,027 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who had been held hostage by Hamas for more than 5 years.

This video was first broadcast on July 16, 2014, and has been rebroadcast many times since.
