Some audio recordings, and some videos -- a man dies after some militants throw a grenade at him and his two sons who were trying to flee the conflict area. The kids were wounded. Another recording purportedly of a Hamas militant plays as ''killed at least 10 Jews with my bare hands". The war between Israel and Hamas, like every other battle these days, is also being fought through information. This is what experts call Information War. As happens, both sides run their theories, and agendas to gain as much support as possible. 

The Israeli military on Monday held a screening for journalists at the Tel Aviv military base. The footage contained various moments aftermath of Hamas' October 7 surprise attack. "Whoever kidnaps a hostage and brings them to Gaza is to get a stipend of USD 10,000 and an apartment," a Hamas terrorist is purportedly heard saying in the video, reported ANI.

Some are also heard as saying that they were specifically directed by their handlers to kidnap elderly women and children. One of them said they were asked to "cleanse the houses and kidnap as many prisoners as possible," 

The Israel Securities Authority (ISA) also showed the bodycam footage, cut together with clips from CCTV, dashboard cameras and the mobile phones of both Hamas gunmen and victims. The videos reportedly show stark details of the music festival horror where Hamas targetted many and even kidnapped a woman, paraded her body, and recorded the video.

Earlier, the Israeli military also released documents which they claimed were recovered from dead Hamas members. They said the material contained detailed operational planning and instructions for attacking the neighbourhoods and taking hostages. It also had colour-coded maps of Israeli bases.

"They must shoot down as many victims as possible, take hostages and take some of them to the Gaza Strip using various cars," said one part of the manual, as per Israeli military, reported BBC.

 

'Shoot As Many Victims': Footage Show Hamas Men Killed Dog, Burned Houses

One of the terrorists purportedly said, "Please open WhatsApp and look how many dead," imploring his parents repeatedly referring to pictures or video he had sent home showing the attack. "Your son killed so many Jews," he added. "Mum, your son is a hero."

Another video, BBC mentioned, showed one militant apparently shooting the dead bodies of civilians inside a kibbutz to celebrate. Certain videos were taken from mobile phones of victims and depicted the utter fear of those who hid in safe rooms and shelters as terrorists showed bullets nearby.

According to ANI, one of the men asked to "cleanse the houses and kidnap as many prisoners as possible." In one of the recordings, a militant could be heard as saying: "Her (a victim's) dog came out and I shot him,"

"Her body was lying on the floor, I shot her too. The commander yelled at me, saying (that) I was wasting bullets on a corpse," he said

Another said they burned down two houses. "We finished what we came to do and then burned down two houses," he said.

Speaking to the media after the screening, Major General Michael Edelstein, a former Israeli Defence Forces Gaza division commander expressed his "shock" by the coverage. "We see that some of the channels are trying to compare what Israel is doing and what those vile terrorists are doing," General Edelstein said, as quoted by BBC.

"I cannot understand anyone who compares," he said, adding "And after what we have shared with you, you should know it."
