The sickening images emerge as Israel tries to end skepticism about the attack, and the IDF says many online have spread misinformation to try to downplay the October 7 terrorist attack, comparing them to Holocaust deniers.
Maj. Gen. Michael Edelstein, former commander of the IDF’s Gaza division, told reporters that the new videos and photographs should also put into perspective the need to destroy Hamas after Israel received criticism for its airstrikes in Gaza, which have killed more than 5,000 Palestinians. including children, according to the Hamas-led Health Ministry.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced “We are at war” and promised that Hamas would pay “a price it has never known.”
Gaza health officials report that at least 3,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 12,500 injured.

The bombings have focused primarily on northern Gaza as Israel prepares to pave the way for a ground invasion, publishing multiple leaflets in the area warning civilians to flee or be considered allies of Hamas.
The move has been condemned by the United Nations, which operates an aid group for civilians, saying the mobilization of more than a million people was unrealistic as many of the wounded in hospitals could not be transferred.
On Monday, the IDF also released images of its new “Iron Sting” powered bombing system, which is being used to conduct precise strikes in Gaza to eliminate enemy targets and rocket launchers.

“Its operational use will revolutionize ground warfare and equip battalions with organic, precise and effective firepower,” the IDF said in a statement.
Elbit Systems, which developed the “Iron Sting” or “Steel Sting,” promoted it in 2021 as a “precise, laser- and GPS-guided mortar munition” to attack dense urban environments while “reducing the potential for collateral damage.” and prevent injuries to non-combatants.”
The new system could calm the fears of the international community that has expressed concern for the safety of the more than 200 hostages taken by Hamas who could be injured or killed by Israel’s repeated bombings.

The IDF estimates that Hamas is holding around 222 hostages in Gaza, an increase from 210 last week.
The hostage situation has remained a major concern in Israel’s counterattack, as those held captive include at least 30 children and citizens of more than 30 nations.
After freeing two Americans last week, Hamas on Monday freed two Israeli women, one 79 and the other 85, and another 50 dual citizens are scheduled to be handed over to the Red Cross following negotiations with Qatar and Egypt. .
