In the near-three-minute recording, a man is heard talking to his father, ecstatically urging him to open the instant messaging app WhatsApp to "look how many I killed with my own hands, you son killed Jews". The father lavishes praise on his son with enthusiasm as other family members are also heard joining the celebration.
"I killed her and her husband. I killed ten with my own hands," he rejoices shortly before his mother is heard exclaiming "Oh my son, God bless you" through the phone.
The man in the recording is heard saying he is calling from Kibbutz Mefalsim, a small farming community near the Gaza Strip border that saw intense clashes between Hamas terrorists and local security personnel during the October 7 attack.
