Kfar Aza, Be'eri and Hamas' own footage stand witness to massacre

This heinous act resulted in the loss of more than 1,400 lives, with thousands sustaining injuries and at least 222 persons, including women, children, the elderly and soldiers, being taken captive.

Disturbing footage of the massacre, captured on Hamas terrorists' body cameras, has been circulated widely. There is recorded evidence of Hamas terrorists, apprehended by Israeli security forces, confessing to murder, acts of violence and sexual assault against civilians.

Despite the undeniable evidence, there are those who, like Holocaust deniers, choose to dispute the atrocities committed by Hamas. To address these concerns, Israel's Government Press Office took the initiative on Monday to convene a gathering of 200 journalists, primarily representing foreign media outlets. The GPO presented a 43-minute comprehensive compilation of videos that unequivocally demonstrated the extent of Hamas's cruelty.

In one video footage sequence, recorded from both indoor and outdoor surveillance cameras in a home, a distressing scene unfolds. A father is seen hurriedly guiding his two sons, who appear to be about 10 years old, through their living room towards an outdoor shelter. They make their way into the shelter, only to be met with horror: a terrorist hurls a grenade, killing the father.

The two boys, injured and in shock and anguish, emerge from the shelter, returning to their home. They are crying in fear and agony, fully aware that they have lost their beloved father.

They sit down, one on the living room couch and the other at the dining room table, severely wounded and bleeding. One of the boys laments that he can only see through one eye, while the other boy, in tears, asks, "Why are we still alive?"

A terrorist nonchalantly enters the house, paying little attention to the desperate boys, and calmly opens the refrigerator. He retrieves a bottle of cola, takes a sip, and walks out.

Subsequently, we witness the two boys leaving the house, seeking refuge, just as their mother returns in search of them. She finds her husband's lifeless body at the entrance to the shelter. Overwhelmed by grief, she collapses. Kibbutz security personnel swiftly usher her indoors as the peril persists with Hamas terrorists still roaming the area.

In a separate audio clip, a terrorist calls his parents. He is heard explaining that he is calling from the phone of a woman he just killed in Kibbutz Mefalsim on the Gaza border. "I killed 10 Jews with my bare hands!" he exclaims. "Now, are you proud of me, father?" The joyful parents shower blessings upon their terrorist son.

Numerous clips taken from terrorist bodycams, dashcams, victims or first responders, showed victims who had been bound, shot and burned. One video showed a terrorist trying to kill a foreign worker with a hoe to the neck. Another video showed first responders pouring water on a smouldering corpse. Other videos showed families murdered in their bedrooms.

Footage from the Supernova music festival near Kibbutz Re'im showed groups of corpses smouldering. One girl lay dead, her pants pulled down. According to at least one report, some male corpses had their genitals cut off and put in their mouths.

Other videos show terrorists rampaging through the city of Sderot and several kibbutzim in the area, murdering as they walk and causing destruction everywhere.

Sderot was one of the first communities to come under attack by Hamas terrorists who rampaged through it shortly after dawn on Oct. 7.

The city is now mostly quiet save for the constant Red Alert sirens as Hamas in Gaza continues to rain rockets on it. The 30,000 residents have mostly been evacuated. One can still see cars with bullet holes, and buildings damaged by heavy gunfire. The place where the Sderot police station once stood is now a ruin. It was razed to the ground in the fighting after terrorists killed 20 police officers there and barricaded themselves inside.

Throughout the city, there are signs of battle. Brick sidewalks are torn up and street signs and advertising posters are riddled with bullet holes. A parked truck has a gaping black hole in the back after being hit with an RPG missile. A minivan with shattered windows sits on the side of the road, silent witness to the murders that took place when terrorists attacked a group of pensioners on their way to a vacation. They fled the van to enter a nearby shelter only to find the door was locked. They were all murdered on the spot. (ANI/TPS)
