- Spokesman Eylon Levy confirmed that stark, unedited footage would be released
- He said it will combat the “Holocaust denial-like phenomenon” of Hamas’s atrocities
Israel has said it will release unedited, uncensored footage of Hamas’ brutal October 7 attacks on unsuspecting civilians to counter what it says is a “Holocaust denial-like phenomenon” amid the backlash over the airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
Government spokesman Eylon Levy told journalists last night that a series of unedited clips taken from the bodycams of dead Hamas attackers would be shown to journalists to show the “barbarism” against Israelis.
“The IDF has collected bodycam footage captured by Hamas death squads as they rampaged through communities in southern Israel, slaughtering everyone they encountered,” Levy began.
‘I can’t believe I’m saying this… As we work to defeat the terrorist organization, we are witnessing a phenomenon similar to Holocaust denial unfolding in real time as people cast doubt on the extent of the atrocities committed by Hamas against our terrorist organization. people and actually recorded to glorify this violence.”
It comes as part of Israel’s response to the incessant bombing of the Gaza Strip, which is estimated to have killed more than 5,000 Palestinians since October 7.
The footage was shown to journalists in Tel Aviv this morning at 11:30 am local time.
MailOnline contacted the Israeli government news agency to request the images.
“The IDF has collected bodycam footage captured by Hamas death squads as they rampaged through communities in southern Israel, slaughtering everyone in sight,” Levy said.
