After Erdan's trolling of Sinwar, Hamas responds by leaking Erdan's number

Erdan has had a slew of insults, personal attacks, and threats against his family sent to his phone.

In yesterday's debate at the UN General Assembly during the call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas War, Israel's ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, waved a picture of Yahya Sinwar, while presenting the terror leader's phone number.

"For a Ceasefire Dial: +970-599373765, Ask For Yahya Sinwar," was written next to the photo.

The terrorist organization responded by sharing the ambassador's number.

An onslaught of insults

Since then, Erdan has received many insults and personal attacks sent to his phone.

At the Israeli Channel 13 News studio on Tuesday night, a journalist tried to call Sinwar's number.

Gil Tamari called the number, but the number was either disabled or the phone was off, as the call went straight to voicemail. 

"Yahya Sinwar, if I reached you and this is your number, you'd better surrender," Tamari said, with another person adding "And give back the hostages."

Most of the abuse Erdan received was sent from an Indonesian phone number, including threats against him and his family, such as saying they would kill him and his family soon.

One message begins quite innocuously, saying "Hi, why did you try and say this is the number of our leader?" The tone quickly changes: "We can kill you and your family shortly."
