“…This video here shows him begging for his life just moments earlier before being ex*cuted.:
A video has appeared of Hamas executing/shooting the Tanzanian student Joshua Mollel to death.
We will not share that video because it is very graphic.

CONVERSEER gathered that Mollel went to Israel in September to study Agriculture (farming) before being captured by Hamas during the 7 October attack.
So, these Hamas terrorists killed this man from Tanzania for nothing.
African leaders drumming support for Hamas, I hope you're seeing?
He is not an Israeli. He went to study Agriculture, according to reports and he was killed mercilessly despite his plea. https://t.co/8ZDm38COl8

According to the BBC, the Tanzanian Government confirmed that Mollel who was also an intern at Diary Farm intern at Kibbutz was killed immediately after he was taken hostage by Hamas.
Tanzania’s Foreign Minister, January Makamba said aside from Mollel, one other student, Clemence Felix Mtenga was also killed by Hamas.
“We are planning to take Mr Mollel, another family member and a government official to Israel to get more information on the matter,” Makamba said.
Adding “Loitu Mollel, Joshua’s father, has been notified about the death of his son.”
The two Tanzanian students had travelled to Israel just a month before the 7 October attack. It was initially reported that they were among the 240 people taken hostage by Hamas.
According to Tanzania officials, around 350 Tanzanians live in Israel, mostly students pursuing agricultural-related studies.
Dozens of residents of Kibbutz Nahal Oz were among the 1,200 people killed by Hamas fighters on 7 October.
In a Facebook post, authorities in Kibbutz Nahal Oz said Mr Mollel’s body was being held by Hamas.
Meanwhile, Hamad said since the 7 October incident, about 18,600 people have been killed in the Israeli operation in Gaza.
