“I know their language, I know their culture, I know a lot of things about these demons,” said the Israeli-American at an event near the Gaza border.
(Dec. 6, 2025 / JNS) Israel Defense Forces Sgt. First Class Edan Alexander vowed on Wednesday to use what he had learned during his 584 days as a Hamas captive against the terrorist organization.
Speaking in uniform before a group of 1,000 American visiting pastors and Christian leaders at the Nova Festival Victims Memorial site near the Gaza border, he sent a message to the terrorists who abducted him on Oct. 7, 2023: “You gave me hell? I’ll give you hell back.”
Alexander, 21, who was freed from Gaza in May, resumed his military service in October.
