New video footage from the funeral of the Hamas Khan Yunis Brigade commander in Gaza reportedly shows mourners chanting 'October 7 will return' and the anti-Jewish slogan 'Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews.' The funeral took place earlier Friday in Khan Yunis.
New video footage released by The Zioneer Intelligence Desk this afternoon confirms that mourners at Friday's funeral of Hamas Khan Yunis Brigade commander Muhammad Yazouri chanted 'October 7 will return' and the anti-Jewish slogan 'Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews.' The footage provides visual corroboration of reports that emerged from the funeral held earlier today in Khan Yunis, Gaza.
The funeral followed the overnight elimination of Yazouri in an Israeli drone strike, confirmed by the IDF and Shin Bet at 10:35 Jerusalem. The military stated the same strike also killed company commander Hudheifa Muammar and operative Muhammad Bahjat Rashi. Attendees were first reported by Abu Ali Express to have chanted threats of repeating the October 7 massacre; the new footage documents those chants directly.
The chants echo scenes from previous Hamas funerals in Gaza, as The Zioneer has documented. In July, footage from the funeral of Hamas operative Amro Abu Rish showed mourners chanting 'Happy holiday, October 7.' In June, Abu Ali Express noted that such videos serve as effective Israeli public diplomacy, illustrating the continued threat from Gaza.
The footage, published by The Zioneer Intelligence Desk, is circulating on social media. No further details on the source of the video have been disclosed.
