| [NYPOST] A commander of Hamas’ elite Nukhba unit who was captured in Gaza urged his fellow terrorists to give up the fight and surrender just like he and his men did, according to a new interrogation video released Thursday. Muhammad Nasser Suleiman Abu Namer, a Hamas operative since 2009, was filmed speaking to Israel’s Shin Bet intelligence officers about his capture inside a tunnel in Khan Younis. Despite being armed with guns and explosives, Abu Namer said he and two other Hamas fighters refused to open fire on the Israeli forces knocking on their door, Ynet reports. “We sat in the room, we placed all the weapons outside,” Abu Namer said. “We sat and we waited. When the army arrived, we put up our hands and surrendered.” The Nukhba commander said he and the two other Hamas members, Hamis Safi and Iyad al-Astal, had made the decision to surrender as soon as the army was approaching. Asked if he had any advice for his fellow terrorists, Abu Namer said they should follow his example. “I recommend to everyone to surrender, because your destiny otherwise is to die,” he said. Abu Namer’s arrest and interrogation is the latest publicized by Shin Bet, who have released video of other Hamas operatives slamming their own organization and calling on the terror group to surrender to the IDF.
