Israel to release ‘unedited bodycam footage of Hamas murders’ to prove the ‘magnitude of atrocities committed’ after claims of beheaded babies
Israel has declared it will release unedited, uncensored footage of Hamas’ ruthless October 7 attacks on unsuspecting civilians to counter what it says is a ‘Holocaust denial-like phenomenon’ in response to backlash over its airstrikes of the Gaza Strip.
Government spokesman, Eylon Levy last night told journalists that a series of raw clips taken from the bodycams of dead Hamas attackers would be screened for journalists to show the ‘barbarity perpetrated’ against Israelis.
‘The IDF has been collecting footage from bodycams taken by Hamas death squads as they rampaged through the communities in southern Israel, butchering everyone in sight,’ Levy began.
‘I can’t believe I’m saying this… As we work to defeat the terror organisation we are witnessing a Holocaust denial-like phenomenon evolving in real time as people are casting doubt on the magnitude of the atrocities Hamas committed against our people and in fact recorded in order to glorify this violence.’
It comes as part of Israel’s response to backlash over its bombing of the Gaza Strip which is thought to have killed more than 5,000 Palestinians since October 7.
The screening of the footage was shown to journalists in Tel Aviv at 11:30am this morning September23rd local time,
Levy’s statement came as Israel’s Defence Forces published what they claim is proof of Hamas rocket launch sites nestled among mosques, schools, and nurseries in Gaza.
A series of satellite images, shared on the IDF’s official website and social media accounts, shows what they claim are launch pits dug into the ground right next to the civilian structures – something Israel says backs up their claims that Hamas is using the Palestinian people as human shields.
Two alleged launch sites were located a stone’s throw away from each other, one in the garden of a mosque, and another mere feet away from a kindergarten.
A third was seen across the road from a UN building in Gaza and a fourth was located opposite the Manfaluti Secondary School for Boys.
Geolocation of the images provided by the IDF confirmed the locations given were correct, and analysts pointed out that previous satellite images taken in September did not show any launch sites, suggesting that they would have been recently constructed.
‘Since the beginning of the war, the Hamas terrorist organization has been exploiting civilians and civilian sites such as kindergartens, schools, and mosques for the purpose of firing rockets at Israel. Hamas deliberately fires its rockets at Israeli civilians,’ IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said.
The presence of rocket launch sites at the locations provided could not be independently verified.
Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry said Monday that more than 5,000 people have been killed in the besieged Palestinian enclave since Israel launched its withering bombing campaign more than two weeks ago.
