Little girl tells the truth: Hamas is “underneath, in tunnels, and we – the victims who are dying – are civilians”
The video is a segment of a live broadcast on Al-Mayadeen TV (Lebanon), in which a girl in the Gaza Strip is interviewed during the Israeli counter-terror operation against Hamas’ terror war on Israel – see note below.
Al-Mayadeen TV reporter: “What do you say to the resistance? They say that you are resistance fighters. You are children and [the Israelis] are killing you, and they say to the world that you are resistance fighters. What do you say to the Palestinian resistance?”
Girl: “They put the Arabs in danger. They are underneath, in tunnels, and we – the victims who are dying – are civilians.”

Hamas war on Israel October 2023 - At least 1,200 Israelis, including over 1,000 civilians, were murdered and over 4,800 wounded, in addition to approximately 244 who were abducted into the Gaza Strip (including 110 later released or liberated and at least 26 later killed), in a Hamas terror war that began when approximately 3,000 Hamas terrorists broke through Israel's security fence at the Gaza Strip border and launched a surprise attack, taking control of several Israeli towns and attacking a music festival on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, which fell on the Sabbath, Oct. 7, 2023. During the massacre the terrorists tortured, raped, shot, beheaded, and burned their victims alive, murdering entire families and leaving at least 21 children without parents. Hamas terrorists also fired at least 5,000 rockets at Israeli population centers. In response, Israel launched Operation Iron Swords to counter the Hamas terror threat. Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon joined Hamas' terror war starting from the following day, attacking Israel from the north. Occasional rocket launches and shootings continued from Lebanon throughout the war. A ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal began on Nov. 24, 2023, in which Israel agreed to release 150 terrorist prisoners, pause drone surveillance in the Gaza Strip, and allow movement between the northern and southern Gaza Strip, in return for 50 Israeli female and child hostages held by Hamas. The deal was subsequently extended with additional releases, until Hamas violated the agreement and resumed attacking on Dec. 1, 2023.
