The IDF published a photo on Thursday of an ISIS flag left by infiltrating Hamas terrorists in the ravaged southern kibbutz of Sufa.

The IDF will track down and kill Hamas terrorists who committed atrocities in the massacre of southern Israel and shared it on social media, IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said in an Operation Swords of Iron update on Thursday.

In addition, Hagari revealed that ISIS flags were also found on the uniforms of killed terrorists, restressing US President Joe Biden's words that "Hamas is worse than ISIS."

He noted the terrorist groups share the same ideologies, goals and mission statements.

Over 1,300 Israelis and foreign nationals were murdered as of Thursday morning, and more than 3,300 were wounded according to the Health Ministry.
