The horror documents that were broadcast live from Facebook, Instagram, Whats App and other social media during the attack by Hamas in Israel are discussed by the New York Times, who reveal that the terrorists broadcast live their massacres from the accounts of their victims!
Notably, shortly after the Hamas attack that sparked the war with Israel, friends and relatives of Gali Shlezinger Idan, who lived in a kibbutz near the Gaza border, received distressing messages to check her Facebook page.
What they found shocked them. Members of Hamas used Idan’s Facebook account to livestream themselves holding her and her family hostage.
During the 43-minute broadcast, gunmen forced Idan and her family to crouch on a tiled floor as rockets and gunfire blasted their building.

“I couldn’t believe what I was watching”, said Keren de Via, a friend of the Idan family, who saw Ms. Idan’s children hugging their parents and crying during the live broadcast.
“How could we watch them terrorize the family like this? How could I watch this on Facebook?” he says.
In a new war tactic, Hamas has taken over the social media accounts of kidnapped Israelis and used them to spread violent messages and wage psychological warfare, according to interviews with 13 Israeli families and their friends, as well as experts in social media that have studied extremist groups, as reported by the New York Times.

In at least four cases, Hamas members logged into their hostages’ personal social media accounts to live-stream the October 7th attacks.
In the days that followed, Hamas also appeared to infiltrate the Facebook groups, Instagram accounts and WhatsApp chats of their hostages to issue death threats and calls for violence.
Hamas members also took the hostages’ cellphones to make calls to taunt friends and relatives, according to their Israeli families and friends.
