Bearing Witness to the October 7th Massacre

Rare card · No. 70742

Bearing Witness to the October 7th Massacre (also unofficially titled סרט הזוועות, lit. 'the atrocity film' or 'the film of horrors' in Hebrew) is an Israeli documentary film, a compilation by the IDF Spokesperson's Unit of raw footage from the October 7 attacks. The film includes footage captured from body cameras worn by Hamas-led Palestinian militants on 7 October 2023, and contains scenes of violence recorded during and after the attacks. Israeli officials have held screenings of the film for national and international journalists, foreign diplomats, and Hollywood executives to garner support and to deflect criticism of Israel's conduct during the war in Gaza. The film has generated controversy, with some criticizing plans to publicly release the footage over concerns it would be psychologically harmful.
