A viral video seemingly shows captured Hamas terrorists being subjected to a novel form of torture — a “Baby Shark”-style children’s song being played in a loop for eight hours.
The purported prisoners are seen blindfolded and bound as they sit on the ground amid the blaring strains of “Mamtera Im Matara,” which translates to “Sprinkler With A Target,” the Israeli news site Walla reported.
One of the blindfolded men is seen bopping his head to the repetitive music as a woman’s voice can be heard saying, “Look how happy he is” and “Check this guy out.”
The song is by Manny Mamtera, 40, whose real last name is Tzukerl — and he has approved it being used to torture the jihadists, according to Walla.
“I don’t know if it’s real or not, but the song is called ‘Mamtera Im Mamtera’ and we are all targets, so let’s go,” the singer reportedly wrote of the clip.
He later added that he heard from soldiers at the scene that it was “completely real,” and that he was happy that the troops’ morale was high.
A viral video allegedly shows captured Hamas terrorists being “tortured” with a looped recording of an Israeli children’s song. X / @Rotem_NaomburgOne online commentator called it “the most genius thing I have ever seen in my life,” saying, “I swear, I would have killed myself after the first verse.”
Another said the song was a “real torture” — and asked Manny not to be offended.
Israel-Hamas war: How we got here
2005: Israel unilaterally withdraws from the Gaza Strip more than three decades after winning the territory from Egypt in the Six-Day War.
2006: Terrorist group Hamas wins a Palestinian legislative election.
2007: Hamas seizes control of Gaza in a civil war.
2008: Israel launches military offensive against Gaza after Palestinian terrorists fired rockets into the town of Sderot.
2023: Hamas launches the biggest attack on Israel in 50 years, in an early-morning ambush Oct. 7, firing thousands of rockets and sending dozens of militants into Israeli towns.
Terrorists killed more than 1,200 Israelis, wounded more than 4,200, and took at least 200 hostage.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was quick to announce, “We are at war,” and vowed Hamas would pay “a price it has never known.”
The Gaza Health Ministry — which is controlled by Hamas — reported at least 3,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 12,500 injured since the war began.
But not everyone was amused.

The musician has apparently expressed support for the use of his song against the jihadists. X / @Rotem_Naomburg“It’s not funny and it’s against the treaty for prisoners of war. It’s shocking,” one person wrote.
The authenticity of the video could not be independently verified.
The IDF told The Post it could not comment about the matter.
