A harrowing new video captured the moment a Hamas terrorist and his unit celebrated the invasion of Israel and killed an IDF soldier on October 7 before being fatally shot.
The 100-minute body camera footage, provided by the IDF to CNN, also offered a rare view of Hamas’ 300-mile tunnel system beneath Gaza, showing the terrorist group’s stash of supplies in the narrow corridors. with the words: “What is hidden is much worse”, written in Arabic.
On the surface, the video follows a 24-year-old Hamas member joining a group of men on pickup trucks and motorcycles as they cross the Gaza-Israel border while shouting, “Allahu Akbar.”
The terrorists could be seen equipped with rifles and dozens of rounds of ammunition, and some carried multiple rocket-propelled grenades protruding from backpacks slung over their shoulders.
The men appear uncoordinated as they drive through Israel before arriving at a field near the town of Kissufim, where they begin a shootout with an IDF soldier.

The gunman with the body camera runs in and fires with his rifle while covering one of the terrorists carrying the grenades.
Seeing the Israeli soldier on the ground, the gunman shoots several times at point-blank range, killing the Jewish soldier.
The gunman proceeds to steal the soldier’s Tavor rifle and celebrates the death, posing for a selfie with his body camera as the other terrorists join in and cheer him on.
After the assassination, the gunman appears much more composed than when the invasion began, boasting of his victory as he appears on camera.

He describes himself as a father and adds that he has murdered two Israeli soldiers. He then asks God for a “well-deserved martyrdom.”
The celebration of Hamas unity continues as they pass the bodies of Israelis lying across a street.
With the roads cleared for them by the first wave of Hamas, the group continues towards Kibbutz Re’im, where the gunman exits his vehicle to shoot an IDF soldier from a distance.
The gunman with the body camera fires from outside the military base at the kibbutz before pausing for a second.
At that moment, someone from the base counterattacks, hitting the gunman, who screams as he rolls on the ground.
The 24-year-old screams in shock and pain before his breathing begins to slow and he eventually dies, ending his role in the terrorist attack.

While the lone gunman was killed that morning, the Hamas attack would continue for hours as terrorists killed approximately 1,200 people in Israel on October 7 and kidnapped nearly 240 more.
The attack triggered Israel’s all-out war against Hamas, with the IDF launching airstrikes and a ground invasion to destroy the terrorist group.
