The terrorist looks into the shelter and then throws a grenade into it. Seconds later a Hamas terrorist approaches the shelter the father and sons had just entered. Another camera shows the father and sons leave their house and enter a shelter in their backyard. The two boys also are in underwear (both appear between 8-12, like my son). They look in to ensure the passengers are dead, and then walk into the Kibbutz.Ī home security camera footage inside the home of the Kibbutz shows a father in his underwear, who looks to have just awakened, frantically carrying his two sons through the room, and running outside. The terrorists walk into camera view and fire at the windows of the car at close range. A civilian car approaches the gate and activates the automatic opening. Next at a Kibbutz entrance on CCTV, two Hamas terrorist slowly walk up to the gate peering through the gate bars, appearing to try to sneak in, but the gate is closed. He approaches the window and fires at close range multiple rounds into the male driver and woman passenger in the car to ensure they are dead. The terrorist approaches the vehicles shooting multiple rounds until he sees it slow and wreck into another car. Then the video goes to GoPro footage of the Hamas terrorist engaging the car the viewer the previous footage was showing. Bullets can be seen coming through the dash camera front wind glass and then the car slows and crashes into another car already stopped. There are more than 10 terrorists spread out shooting into cars stopped on the highway. One of the first scenes of violence is on a highway in Southern Israel from a civilian vehicle dash camera. Soldiers don’t show such excitement, happiness when riding into combat or danger. The terrorists were all screaming with joy, yelling over and over “Allahu Akbar!” As a former commander who has led troops into combat, I was shocked at the behavior of the Hamas members. The vehicles drive through a cut made in the Israel border wall. The film starts with Hamas terrorists riding in the back of pickup trucks and motorcycles in a column armed with AK-47s, rocket propelled grenades (RPGs), and a few heavy machine guns. The unique combinations of points of views of a single act creates a visceral experience of each crime scene. The video is a compilation of mainly GoPro camera and cellphone footage from hundreds of Hamas terrorists, but it also includes Israeli home security cameras, car dash cameras, traffic cameras, and first responder cell videos to piece together the before, during, and after of multiple single events and sites of the massacre. I also felt strongly after watching the video, that everyone should not see it. I left the consulate and immediately went to write down my reactions to seeing the video because I felt strongly people should understand what is in it. Last week, I watched the roughly 45-minute footage of the atrocities conducted by Hamas on October 7 at a private screening at the Israeli Consulate in New York City. I am an American veteran who watched the footage of Hamas’s atrocities on October 7.
