A 43-minute film featuring uncut footage from the October 7 terror strike on Israel by Palestinian Hamas caused members of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, to cry and become visibly upset.
The movie was shown to reporters for the first time this past week, October 23, on the Glilot military base close to Tel Aviv, Breitbart News said.
“Via social media, dashboard cameras, GoPro cameras, surveillance cameras, and even mobile audio recording applications, video footage was collected from both the criminals and the victims. It’s not even close to all that the IDF still has.”
“People in the audience gasped and cried during the whole screening. Some reporters whispered, ‘Stop it!'”
Admiral Daniel Hagari, the spokesperson for the IDF, stated that the military had been on the fence about sharing the video. He did say, though, that the IDF chose to do this because “we want to understand what it is that we are fighting for.” He said that we had a duty to build a “collective memory,” and he pointed out that Israel was doing this even though it remained at war with the enemy that had recently attacked it.
People were so moved by the first showing that they asked the IDF to hold more for foreign journalists, then for local reporters, and finally for the Knesset members.
Members of the Knesset – Israel's parliament – were invited to watch a film prepared by the IDF showing the horrific things that took place during the Hamas massacre of October 7th.

People don’t want the whole video to be shown to the public because it’s too upsetting, but parts of it have been, like a bomber calling his parents on the phone.
