Hamas tortured and executed terrorists within its ranks who allegedly had gay sex, shocking documents show — as sources added some male Israeli victims of the Oct. 7 massacre were raped in captivity.
The Iranian proxy terror group had a running list of recruits who were found to have failed Hamas’ “morality checks” by having same-sex relations — and they heavily paid the price, according to documents recovered by the Israel Defense Forces and shared with The Post.
The documents reveal the “crimes” that were allegedly committed by 94 Hamas recruits — lumping together “homosexual conversations,” “flirting with girls without a legal relationship” and “sodomy” in with serious allegations of child rape and torture.
The allegations, dated between 2012 and 2019, involve recruits to Hamas’ intelligence, military and interior ministry and say the new members were eventually deemed “unacceptable” to continue working with the terror group because of their actions.
“He constantly curses God,” according to one allegation, which added, “Information was received that he sexually harassed a young child.“
It is unclear what happened to the recruits identified as “unacceptable” to Hamas, but homosexuality is illegal in Gaza and can result in years of prison — and even death.
Such was the case with former Hamas commander Mahmoud Ishtiwi, who was executed in 2016 after he was accused of having gay sex.
Ishtiwi’s confession and apparent testimony of the brutal treatment he received was included in the documents shared with The Post.
“Committing the crime of sodomy in a hideous manner while he is married to two women,” religious leaders wrote in the Hamas documents. “This is more heinous than adultery and it has been described as an obscenity in the Qur’an more than once.
“Sodomy receives its punishment at the very least, which is stoning to death.”
Hamas executed Ishtiwi with three bullets to his chest after keeping him imprisoned and torturing him for roughly a year — including by hanging him from his limbs in Gazan jails for long hours, according to the documents.
Officials and survivors of Hamas’ horrific Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel reported brutalities in recent conversations with The Post in Israel.
There were multiple instances of male Hamas fighters horrifically raping Israeli men during the attacks of Oct. 7 — as well as of hostages kept captive after the attack that sparked the Israel-Hamas war, a source close to the Israeli Knesset told The Post.
“That is deeply against their religion. This would bring [Hamas] much shame,” the source said, explaining why the reports were not widely shared in the terror group’s propaganda campaign highlighting their Oct. 7 attacks.
Israel activists such as One Israel Fund Director of Education Eve Harow, told The Post that the violence from Hamas on their ranks proves their inhumanity knows no bounds.
“Even within their own society, those who do not conform to Hamas’ extremist ideology — whether women, journalists, activists or minority groups — face persecution, imprisonment or even execution,” she said.
“Their leadership thrives on destruction, sacrificing their own people while blaming the world for the consequences of their own brutality.”
