Hama.s has released its latest Hebrew-language animated music video on Tuesday night, threatening to destro.y Israel just one day after a flare up in violen.ce between Israel and Gaza that erupted when the ter.ror group fired a projectile from the Gaza Strip that landed in the south of Israel.
The animated video, titled “Zionists, You Will P.erish in Gaza” was uploaded to YouTube and calls for te.rror attacks and rockets against Israel, promising d.eath to those “who do not leave our land immediately” in an attempt to deter Israel from another round of fighting with the t.error organization.
The video features dozens of rockets striking all over Israel as well as s.tereotypical looking Jews being s.hot in the head, H.amas militants blowing themselves up among Israeli soldiers and a rocket hitting the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv.
Among one of the lyrical threats, the video warns that “we will e.at you, Zionists, without salt” and that "ooooh...Zionist, a rocket will get you where you live."
H.amas has released similar threatening music videos in the past in an apparent attempt at psychological warfare, including at the height of the wave of vi.olence which broke out in the West Bank and Jerusalem last year as well as during Operation Protective Edge in 2014.
Despite the v.iolence and obvious threats, the videos more often than not are in broken Hebrew and have catchy tunes. They seem to have the opposite effect on the Israeli home front, going viral by those who find them amusing and release parodies on social media.
