Israel has shown a group of journalists gruesome unfiltered bodycam videos of Hamas terrorists slaughtering babies and families during the October 7 massacre.

The unprecedented move was intended to reveal the true horrors unleashed by Hamas on southern Israeli communities and counter any persisting claims the atrocities did not take place.

For the last two weeks, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been collecting the footage taken by Hamas terrorists during their shock rampage, which targeted a number of family-centric gated communities near the border with Gaza.

“I can’t believe I am saying this and I can’t believe that we as a country are having to do this,” said Israeli government spokesman, Eylon Levy.

“We are witnessing a Holocaust denial-like phenomenon unfolding in real time as we people are casting doubt on the magnitude of the atrocities Hamas committed,” he added on X (formerly Twitter).

Levy confirmed that a “compilation or raw and unedited” footage captured on the “death squads’ body cams” on October 7 was shown to journalists who can “stomach the horrific truth”.

Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst said he had to censor the brutality uttered by a captured Hamas terrorist who admitted to doing “things humans do not do.”

According to the New York Post, Yingst obtained a video of what the terrorist told Israeli forces, but spared viewers the most disturbing details from his confession of the massacre.

“I do need to warn our viewers, what I am about to describe is incredibly graphic, but it gives new details on what took place two weeks ago,” the visibly shaken reporter said.

The terrorist told interrogators their “commanders said they could do whatever they felt like doing and that this was a suicide mission, telling them they should not plan on coming back”.

“He says commanders told them to step on the heads of civilians, to behead them and do whatever they felt like,” Yingst said.

“He went on to talk about how Hamas and ISIS are being compared. The interrogator asked him about this comparison, and he agreed. He said, we burned, we slaughtered, and beheaded people.”

In the wake of the massacre which left 1400 Israelis dead, scenes of unimaginable horror were discovered across towns and villages invaded by Hamas terrorists.

In just one kibbutz, Israel said the terrorists slaughtered 40 babies and children, with some found reportedly beheaded, burned alive or shot dead in their homes in Kfar Aza, a village close to the Gaza border that was held for two days by the Palestinian militants.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself posted to X a harrowing photo of a child’s bed soaked in blood from inside the kibbutz. he captioned it, “Hamas is worse than ISIS.”

In a second settlement nearby, Be’eri, horrifying images were released by Israeli rescuers that showed a blood-drenched nursery.

In the kibbutz, IDF members reportedly found at least 20 children and babies tied up and burned.

A commander of an emergency response unit even claimed he found an Israeli woman with her womb sliced open and her unborn baby stabbed.

“We see a pregnant lady on the floor, and we turn her around … and the stomach is wide open, there’s an unborn baby connected to the cord, stabbed with a knife, and the mother shot in the head,” Yossi Landau told i24News.

Not long after their October 7 attack, Hamas released a video that showed them clutching kidnapped babies and toddlers.

The video shows the terrorists holding up Israeli kids to the camera as they cry and rocking babies in prams.

Over the past two weeks, evidence has emerged that Hamas has disguised its weapons under the cover of civilian infrastructure, including public buildings and residences.

The strategy makes it difficult for the IDF to locate and destroy the military targets in the densely-populated enclave without killing or hurting civilians.

Meanwhile, Israel claims instructions on how to make chemical weapons, including cyanide bombs, were found on the body of a dead Hamas terrorist.

“It’s al Qaeda material. Official al Qaeda material. We are dealing with ISIS, al Qaeda and Hamas,” Israel’s president Isaac Herzog told Sky News.

Over the weekend, Israel blitzed Gaza, the West Bank and Syria as the embattled country intensified its air strikes.

More than 4651 Palestinians have been killed in the aerial strikes so far, of which 40 per cent are reported to have been children.

The heavy bombardment is assumed to be the precursor to the long-awaited ground invasion of Gaza amid Israel’s ongoing efforts to eradicate Hamas.
