TEHRAN, 6 FEB

According to reports recovered by the Israel Defence Forces and shared with The New York Post Hamas tortured and executed terrorists within its ranks who allegedly had gay sex.  The reports added that some male Israeli victims of the 7 October massacre were raped in captivity.

Hamas had a running list of recruits who were found to have failed Hamas’ “morality checks” by having same-sex relations — and they paid a heavy price, according to documents recovered by the Israel Defence Forces and shared with The Post.

The reports disclose the “crimes” that were allegedly committed by 94 Hamas recruits — lumping “homosexual conversations,” “flirting with girls without a legal relationship” and “sodomy” in with serious allegations of child rape and torture.

The allegations, are dated between 2012 and 2019, involve recruits to Hamas’ intelligence, military and interior ministry and say the new members were eventually deemed “unacceptable” to continue working with the terror group because of their actions.

One of the allegations reportedly mentioned: "He (one of the Hamas members) constantly curses God". Another said, "He has romantic relationships on Facebook...He is behaviourally and morally deviant". Homosexuality is illegal in Gaza and can result in years of prison or death.
