The Brutality of the Hamas Attack on Israel and its Implications

The Israeli military has screened previously unseen footage from Hamas body cameras, along with other sources such as CCTV and mobile phones, in an attempt to showcase the sheer horror of the recent attack on Israel. The footage, compiled and condensed from hundreds of hours of material, shows Hamas gunmen cheering as they shoot civilians, stalking and killing families in their homes, and engaging in celebratory acts of violence. The military also released documents recovered from dead Hamas members, containing detailed operational planning and instructions for attacking neighborhoods and taking hostages. This screening of raw footage for journalists reflects the Israeli military’s frustration with media coverage that has focused on Israel’s response to the attack and the ensuing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The article raises questions about the comparison between Israel’s actions and the brutality of Hamas, and emphasizes the need to remember and highlight the true nature of the attack in order to prevent the world from forgetting.
