$10,000 TO BUY HIS HEAD

IDF soldier’s savage abuse

A fallen Israeli soldier’s father claimed that after his 19-year-old son was killed, Hamas terrorists tried to sell his decapitated head for $10,000 in Gaza.

David Tahar, father of former Israel Defense Forces Sgt. Adir Tahar (inset), said Hamas abused the body of his son after he was killed during the terrorists’ Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel.

“The terrorists, the barbarians, it’s too little to say for them, they beheaded him and took the head to Gaza,” David told local Channel 14, according to i24 News.

“I did everything I could, it wasn’t easy, in the end, I got a body without a head,” he said, adding that the defense forces did not want him to view his son’s butchered body, but he had insisted.

The grieving father said that after his son’s body arrived at Mount Herzl, Israel’s national cemetery, he opened the coffin to see for himself.

“He was unrecognizable. I identified him by dog tags and a DNA test and things he had in his pants,” David said.

For two months, David worked to try to figure out what had happened to his son’s head.

To his horror, he eventually found a video posted to Telegram that provided him with answers.

“The Internet was flooded with horror videos. I must say that I saw almost everything, unfortunately, I found the video of my son, where you can see that my child is without this essential part of him,” he said.

Later on, David received official word that Hamas had tried to sell his son’s head, advertising it as a soldier’s head for $10,000, he told the station.

“It’s insanely barbaric,” he said.

Dad learns awful fate

Adir’s head was found inside a freezer in Gaza, stashed inside a duffel bag with tennis balls and some documents, his father said.

“[There were] documents of some terrorist and a soldier’s head. They managed to bring what was left after 2 ¹/₂ months, it was probably abused there as well,” he said.

“We recovered the bones, what they found, tested DNA, also found teeth, and buried him,” he said. “It is an obvious miracle in my eyes that I can give him peace of mind and body. What we are currently trying to do is to have a memorial for Adir.”

The grieving father held a second burial three weeks ago.

Meanwhile in Gaza on Wednesday, the first of two shipments of medicine was delivered to dozens of Israeli hostages still being held by Hamas terrorists under a deal brokered by France and Qatar.

The medications, bought in France based on an Israeli list of needs, were first flown to Egypt on a Qatari Air Force plane before being transferred by the Egyptian Red Crescent rescue service to the Rafah border crossing with Gaza.

Five trucks carrying the medications were then inspected by the Israeli Defense Forces before being allowed to pass the border, according to the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT).

As part of the agreement between Israel and Hamas — the first since the November cease-fire — each of the remaining

45 hostages will receive a three-month supply of vital medicine for chronic conditions, as well as other types of drugs and vitamins.
