Gazan Threatens 'New October 7' Attack, Prefers Hamas Military Wing as Leader

A young man identifying himself as a Gaza resident issued chilling threats during a live broadcast, vowing to "open the border to you again and come to you." He specifically referenced the October 7th attacks, stating, "Just as we opened the border to you in the kibbutzim, we will come and open it to you." This statement was made in response to a question about how he intended to reach Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem from Gaza, with the interviewer noting that the young man brought up the kibbutz border breach unprompted.

In a separate part of the conversation, the individual was asked whether he preferred Benjamin Netanyahu or Gadi Eisenkot as Israel's Prime Minister. His response was "Al-Qassam Brigades," referring to the military wing of Hamas. He further added, "The leader leaves behind leaders, and the martyr, martyrs."

The interviewer stated that he tried not to argue or engage in a shouting match, instead posing questions and allowing the individual to speak. The young man also claimed to have participated in the October 7th abduction of an Israeli and threatened a "new October 7th" originating from the West Bank, though these claims could not be independently verified.

The interviewer emphasized the difficulty of dismissing such statements, especially nearly three years after the October 7th massacre, and suggested that a young man still speaking of breaching kibbutzim and repeating such actions does not indicate victory. The identity and exact location of the individual remain unconfirmed, but he presented himself as a Gaza resident.
