- David Tahar, father of fallen IDF soldier Adir Tahar, claims Hamas terrorists decapitated his son and attempted to sell the head for $10,000.
- Adir Tahar was killed during the October 7 Hamas-led attacks on Israel, during which an estimated 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were killed.
- David Tahar discovered the mutilation of his son's body just before the burial and embarked on a months-long search for the head, eventually finding a video showing his son's body without the head.
- Israeli authorities, following interrogations with captured Hamas terrorists, located the head in a freezer in central Gaza and confirmed its identity through DNA and dental records.
- Hamas-led attacks also resulted in hundreds of hostages, with reports emerging of horrific treatment including branding, torture, and sexual abuse.
