The Israel government has released a recording made by the Shin Bet of a telephone call it conducted with Israelis being held by Hamas captors at Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7, 2023. The Shin Bet operative also talks to one of the Hamas men, a certain “Hasan.” Among Hasan’s chilling remarks there was this: “Stay on the line and hear them die.” The recording captures the confusion, chaos, and sheer horror of that day, when a Hamas man casually murders several children, and other Israelis are forced to stand outside one of the buildings where, their Hamas captors know, they will be mistakenly killed by the IDF. More on this recording can be found here: “‘Stay on the line and hear them die’: Recordings reveal horror of Hamas hostage crisis in Be’eri,” Jerusalem Post, January
New recordings of a hostage-taking situation during Hamas’s October 7 attacks in Kibbutz Be’eri were published by Channel 12 on Friday.
The recordings were from Be’eri resident Pessi Cohen’s house, which became notable during a situation on October 7 where 40 terrorists barricaded themselves in the house with 15 hostages. Only two of the captives survived.
The recordings were taken in real-time by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), the report noted. As negotiations with the terrorists for the hostages’ release were held, an intense firefight between Hamas and Israeli forces raged outside the residence.
Cohen’s house became a symbol for the battles that went on in the kibbutz, and the fight there lasted for about six hours.
The recordings that were found
One recording released was between one of the two survivors at Cohen’s house, Yasmin Porat, speaking to a Shin Bet representative, saying, “I am here in Kibbutz Be’eri with 50 hostages along with Palestinian guys, everyone here is crying a lot. They want to take us with them to Gaza.”
Porat continued, saying “Things are very bad, there’s one person here badly injured, another already starting to feel unwell, and one that was killed. They’re taking us with them either way – alive or dead.”
She then recalled that the Hamas terrorists saw that she wasn’t “nervous enough” and that she was “speaking calmly,” the report quoted her as saying.
Porat then reportedly noticed the Hetzroni children near her begging for their lives. Their pleas were captured by the recording. The children were later discovered to have been killed by Hamas.
Also with her in the recording is a Hamas terrorist, which the N12 report named “Hassan.”
“I have 50 people hostage with me,” the recording captured Hassan saying. “I want to go with the 50 to Gaza. Listen to my instructions now, so that I don’t start murdering them. You now have five minutes for me to leave the settlement and take them to Gaza. Any attempt at intervention by the air force, fighters, tanks, or vehicles – I will murder all 50.”
The Shin Bet representative tried to buy time with the Hamas terrorist, the N12 report added, asking him for 20 more minutes to update the Israeli forces on the ground.
Hassan and other terrorists did not cooperate with the representative’s request. Instead, they tried to take the hostages to jeeps that would head towards Gaza but were prevented from doing so by Israeli forces who were operating outside the house.
As the Shin Bet representative was reportedly trying to communicate to the IDF soldiers that they should not shoot, Hassan was recorded saying, “The army came to me, here the army came to me.”
Suheib Abu Amer, a bus driver from east Jerusalem who was kidnapped from the Nova Festival to serve as an Arabic interpreter for the terrorists, came onto the line.
“I am also one of the hostages,” the N12 report quoted him as saying. “I am from Jerusalem, from Beit Hanina. There was a nature party, and I am a minibus driver. I have been running since this morning, I don’t know where to hide.”
The Shin Bet official responded saying he needs to know Amer’s location so that Israeli forces do not harm him.
Hassan, on the line with the Shin Bet official, said he would give the Israeli forces five minutes to reveal themselves, and if they failed to do so, he would shoot a hostage. He went on to threaten to shoot another every five minutes if his demands were not met.
He also said to the Israeli official, “You stay on the line and hear them die.”…
At Kibbutz Be’eri, Hamas operatives not only murdered Israeli men, women, and children — including little Liel, and the Hetzroni children who begged in vain for their lives — but also put six of the hostages just outside Pessi Cohen’s house so that they would be killed by the IDF, which had been unaware of their existence and thought they were part of Hamas. Hasan, who had said to a Shin Bet operative “Stay on the line and hear them die,” gave himself up. The IDF, the army accused by so many of “genocide,” did not touch a hair on his head.
James Hoagland says
All these jihadi need to be sent express to their demon god! No one in is right mind can think of Islamists as anything more than demoniacal creatures.
Tony Rice says
Do these Muslims start off as evil or do they get schooled into it. Or is the Quran responsible, either way, they are a disgrace to humanity. Or perhaps they are apes and pigs in disguise?
Billy says
They learn it from Allah in the Quran. Allah in Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…” For this killing act, a sacred and holy act, deceitful Allah spiritually rewards Muslims with Paradise. Allah in Qur’an 8:12 says, “When your lord revealed to the angels: ‘I am with you so make firm those who believed[Muslims]. I will cast a terror into the hearts of those who became infidels[Non-Muslims]. So strike above their necks(decapitation), and strike off(chop off) every finger from them.’”
James Lincoln says
Tony,
They:
1. Are brainwashed by the imams to become devout muslims.
2. Have lower IQs in muslim majority countries that practice first cousin inbreeding over multiple generations.

Perhaps they could continue to leave his hair alone, but he is way beyond deserving of having something hot and piercing entering his body parts.
Followers of demons, doing the “desires of their father, satan the devil.” There is a “place prepared for the devil and his angels’ and this member of hamas, scummy dross murderer, will be joining them there.
May he and all of the others like him soon reap what they have sown.
This recording should be played non-stop in every place where people have gathered to scream in favor of these mozlum ghouls. ratshida tlaib and ilhan elmi, alias omar, pressley, ocasio cortez, jayapal and jefferies should be made to listen and then offer their defense of the evil.
Dan Dagovitz says
“but he is way beyond deserving of having something hot and piercing entering his body parts”.
Like molten lead or a red-hot steel bar about an 1.5″ round rectally inserted…
The monsters that committed the Oct 6th atrocities deserve long and painful torture followed by death and eternal punishment.
somehistory says
They may escape the torture you describe, Dan, but the death and eternal punishment is a guarantee.
Dan Dagovitz says
They may try but then it is our responsibility to hunt the Islamic criminals down. They are falling one by one…
Their eternal punishment I leave to our Lord and Savior…
People ask me why do I use my real name; I fear evil not and to attack me they have to come out in the open or expose themselves to danger. Muslims are, in general, cowards who can only force themselves on defenseless girls or murder babies! Expose themselves and I can get to them and their organizations.
Never Again!
Never Again will Christians or Jews live in fear of the Islamic Cult!
C McG says
No, I’m all for capital punishment but not the torture of anyone. Don’t besmirch yourself.
Bagsgroove says
Use the outlawed chinese capital punishment “Death by a thousand cuts” Look it up.
Bagsgroove says
Why not torture the rotten evil muslims ? They deserve it,every single one !
Tony says
Islam is murderous ideology of terrorism, discrimination, and violence against Israel, America, and all Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Quran. Allah in Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…” For this killing act, a sacred and holy act, deceitful Allah spiritually rewards Muslims with Paradise.
Allah in Qur’an 8:12 says, “When your lord revealed to the angels: ‘I am with you so make firm those who believed[Muslims]. I will cast a terror into the hearts of those who became infidels[Non-Muslims]. So strike above their necks(decapitation), and strike off(chop off) every finger from them.’”
Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with THEIR MONEY AND THEIR LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”
Dan Dagovitz says
You do not pause or negotiate with rabid animals!
You put them down.
There will be a pause when all of Hamas including their supporters are dead!
Hamas is not the problem….
Islam is the problem; it creates Hamas, Hezbollah and all the various terrorist organizations.
Eliminate Islam and the problem goes away! Then we can deal with the core of evil supporters from the Left!
bagsgroove says
Lets make hamass live up to its name. Shove a ton of ham up the ass of every ham ass before we destroy them
MD Anthony says
IDF cowards kept Hassan alive to be exchanged in a future prisoner swap
Hassan is more important than the Israelis and the children Hassan murdered.
gravenimage says
Your blaming Israel for this horrifying Jihad terror is grotesque.
James Lincoln says
MD Anthony,
Even Hamas and Hezbollah, as much as they hate Jews / Israel’s IDF, do not believe that the members of the IDF are “cowards”.

The Horror at Kibbutz Be’eri: ‘Stay on the Line and Hear Them Die’
…………………………………………….
I have no words for how much I hate Islam.
Dan Dagovitz says
Same, at least none that would not be a sin…
gravenimage says
Dan, I don’t think that hating an evil ideology like Fascism or Islam is a sin.
somehistory says
g, I believe Dan means “words” said which are sinful. I feel that some words are not for me to say.
The Bible says, “Let a rotten saying not proceed our of your mouth.”
And hating evil….is commanded in the Psalms. “Oh, you lovers of Jehovah, hate what is bad.”
Sara says
Agreed. The more I know, the more I hate islam and muslims.
bagsgroove says
Some day we will hear the muslims die over and over in hell ! And it will be great

This has been cited by apologists for Hamas who have insanely clamed that Israel murdered her own people on 10/7.
martia says
Time for Israel to introduce the death penalty for terrorists so that there is no one left to release in future deals. Enough already.
somehistory says
yes. If they went by the Law of Moses, hamas caught would be hamas dead.
Bagsgroove says
Oh Glory of God ! all of Hamasses are dead !
