The father of a deceased Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier revealed that Hamas terrorists had tried to sell his son’s head for $10,000. “That is just insane barbarism,” David Tahar said in an interview with Channel 14. He had tried for months to find his son’s head after the IDF recovered his body following the Oct. 7 attack, saying, “A father needs to know everything about his children.””From a CT scan I received recently, his whole body is full of shrapnel, and unfortunately the body of Adir was also abused after he was killed,” his father claimed. David Tahar told Fox News Digital that the terrorists killed his son, Cpl. Adir Tahar, 19, with an anti-tank missile after he helped save some of his comrades. The attack devastated the Golani Brigade unit that his son served in, and the terrorists then decapitated Adir Tahar. MORE COUNTRIES CUT FUNDING TO UN AGENCY AFTER STAFFERS ACCUSED OF PARTICIPATING IN OCT. 7 HAMAS ATTACKDavid Tahar claimed that evidence showed the terrorists shot at Adir Tahar’s body with their guns after he died.
