There’s nothing quite as heart-wrenching as the plight of innocent children held hostage by bloodthirsty terrorists. Recently, two young Israeli brothers, Yagil and Or Yaakov, had the devastating misfortune of falling into the clutches of Hamas, the infamous terrorist group. But thankfully, their harrowing ordeal finally came to an end and they were reunited with their family. However, the shocking details of their captivity have left the world in utter disbelief.
Uncle of Boys Held Hostage Says Hamas Branded the Children in Captivity

According to Yaniv Yaakov, the brave boys’ uncle, his nephews suffered unimaginable horrors during their time in Hamas captivity. In a conversation with Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, Yaniv revealed the gruesome truth. Hamas, in their sickening sadism, marked each child by burning their legs on the exhaust of a motorbike. It was a cruel and calculated tactic to ensure their capture if they dared to escape their captors and seek freedom. The sheer level of malevolence exhibited by Hamas is nothing short of monstrous.
As conservatives, we stand firmly against terrorism and its deplorable acts. The treatment of these innocent boys is a stark reminder of the warped minds that fuel the Hamas terrorist regime. Such wickedness shouldn’t be tolerated or ignored by the international community. Naftali Bennett, the former Israeli Prime Minister, aptly labeled Hamas as “sadistic monsters.” And his words hit the nail on the head. It is imperative that we recognize the true nature of these terrorists and take decisive action against them.
Throughout their traumatic ordeal, Yagil and Or Yaakov were subjected to inhumane conditions and even forced drugging. The lengths to which Hamas went to break their spirits and suppress their will for freedom is nothing short of despicable. These young boys, who should have been living carefree lives, were instead subjected to unthinkable trauma and suffering.
We celebrate their release alongside nine other hostages. However, it is crucial to remember that this incident is merely one of many examples highlighting the brutality of Hamas and the urgent need to eradicate this terrorist organization. We must support Israel, our key democratic ally in the Middle East, as they face the constant threat of terrorism and work towards a long-lasting peace in the region.
Let us raise our voices against the evil of terrorism and stand with the brave survivors like Yagil and Or Yaakov. Only through unwavering resolve and a united front can we put an end to these acts of terror and ensure a safer world for future generations.
