Fox's Yingst: What Hamas terrorist told Israeli interrogators, what he did to victims 'too graphic' for TV

Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst reported on the harrowing exchange between an Israeli interrogator and a Hamas terrorist arrested outside a kibbutz near the Gaza border.

Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst offered a harrowing report about what a detained Hamas terrorist told Israeli interrogators regarding the heinous acts committed against his victims. 

On Saturday, Yingst detailed a video Fox News had obtained of an interrogation of a terrorist who participated in the Oct. 7 attack, warning viewers, "What I'm about to describe is incredibly graphic, but it gives new details on what took place two weeks ago."

"In the video, he [the Hamas terrorist] describes the preparation and coordination for this assault on southern Israel," Yingst said. "He talks about a Telegram group that Hamas fighters had, and they were communicating as the massacre took place, sending videos as they got them, as they were killing civilians in their homes."

"And this interrogator asks him about Islam and [the terrorist] acknowledges that in the religion, you are told not to kill women, children and elderly people, but he describes what Hamas commanders told them to do. He says that commanders said they could do whatever they felt like doing and that this was a suicide mission, telling them they should not plan on coming back."

According to the interrogation exchange, the Hamas terrorist said commanders told them to "step on the heads of civilians, to behead them and do whatever they felt like."

Yingst reported how the terrorist "agreed" with the comparisons that were made between Hamas and ISIS, telling the Israeli interrogator, "We burned, we slaughtered and beheaded people."

"He said, ‘We became animals, things that humans do not do,’" Yingst said quoting the terrorist. "And when the interrogator asked him, ‘What type of things did you do to these civilians after you killed them?’ He described them. And we can't describe them to you because they are too graphic to explain on television, but it gives you a sense of what exactly took place. More than 1,400 Israelis slaughtered at the hands of Hamas militants who entered southern Israel on October 7, starting this conflict that erupted behind us." 

"And we do know by this video that we obtained and reviewed they were given coordinated, specific plans to come into Israel and put all beliefs aside with one goal in mind- to inflict as much terror on the civilian population here as possible," Yingst added.
