An evil father and son have revealed to Israeli investigators how they killed and raped innocent civilians after taking part in the Hamas invasion.

Shameless Jamal Hussein Ahmad Radi, 47, and his son Abdallah, 18, were captured by IDF troops in Gaza and questioned about atrocities they committed in a kibbutz near the border.

A video of her confession obtained by MailOnline statesThe men horrifyingly describe how they murdered innocent civilians in their homes, kidnapped others, and brutally raped women they found, shooting them after they had completed their evil deeds.

In the weeks following the invasion, details emerged of the horrific sexual violence that left more than 1,200 people dead and sparked fierce retaliation by Israeli forces in Gaza.

In the footage, the men – dressed in gray tracksuits and handcuffed – are seen sitting in front of an Israeli flag while being questioned at a secret location by an Arabic-speaking member of the Shin Bet security service.

The parents of Liri Albag (19), Naama Levy (19), Daniela Gilboa (20), Agam Berger (19) and Karina Ariev (19) made the agonizing decision to release the footage (pictured) because their daughters are still being held hostage even after more than seven months. One of the Hamas terrorists seen in the video (pictured) holding the women captive tells them: “You are so beautiful.”

With no visible sign of remorse, he said: “In every house where we found someone, we either killed them or kidnapped them.”

Further emphasizing, he added: “In the first house I found a woman and her husband and we hit them with fire and killed them…they were in their late 40s.”

He then confessed to raping a woman, saying: “She screamed, she cried, I did what I did, I raped her.”

“I threatened her with my gun and told her to take off her clothes. I remember she was wearing jean shorts, that’s all.”

“I don’t know what happened to her, I was there for fifteen minutes and then I left.”

But according to his son Abdallah, it was his father who killed the woman. He told investigators: “My father raped her, then I did it and then my cousin did it and then we left, but my father killed the woman after we finished raping her.”

“Before this woman, we had also raped another girl, I killed two people, I raped two people and I broke into five houses.”

The shocking confessions come two months after Pramila Patten, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Sexual Violence in Conflict, released a report on sexual violence during the October 7 attacks.

She interviewed several victims and said: “What I saw in Israel were scenes of unspeakable violence carried out with shocking brutality.”

During a month-long visit earlier this year, she spoke to 34 survivors and visited four kibbutzim and morgues where the victims’ bodies were kept.

Ms Patten said: “It was a catalog of the most extreme and inhumane forms of killing, torture and other horrors.”

Women attending the Nova music festival were also victims of conflict-related sexual violence during the October 7 attack.

The video confessions followed a chilling film released Wednesday of five terrified women being held at gunpoint by Hamas fanatics.

Commenting on the confession video, an IDF spokesman told MailOnline: “Over the past few months we have seen countless evidence of the brutal violence used by Hamas on October 7, including shocking acts of gender-based and sexual violence.”

“These confessions prove once again that any attempt to deny the horrors of October 7 and discredit the testimony of witnesses, survivors and freed hostages is part of a campaign aimed at delegitimizing Israel and encouraging terrorism justify.”

The spokesman added that both father and son were in custody awaiting trial.
