| Setting the record straight on October 7 |
OCTOBER 7 is the title of a documentary film made by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit which examines what actually took place on 7 October 2023 when around 3,000 armed Palestinian militants led by Hamas infiltrated Israel from the Gaza Strip.
Al Jazeera released OCTOBER 7 on YouTube on 20 March 2024.[1]
Synopsis
Hamas’s incursion into Israel on October 7 transformed the politics of the Middle East. Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit (I-Unit) has carried out a forensic analysis of the events of that day – examining seven hours of footage from CCTV, dashcams, personal phones and headcams of dead Hamas fighters, and drawing up a comprehensive list of those killed.
In OCTOBER 7, the I-Unit reveals widespread human rights abuses by Hamas fighters and others who followed them through the fence from Gaza into Israel.
But the investigation also found that many of the worst stories that came out in the days following the attack were false. This was especially true of atrocities that were used repeatedly by politicians in Israel and the West to justify the ferocity of the bombardment of the Gaza Strip, such as the mass killing of babies and allegations of widespread and systematic rape.
In particular the I-Unit reveals that claims by the Israel Defence Force that it found 8 burned babies at a house in Kibbutz Be’eri were entirely untrue. There were no babies in the house and the 12 civilians inside were killed by Israeli forces when they stormed the house.
This was one of a number of incidents where the police and army appear to have killed Israeli citizens.
OCTOBER 7 is a deep dive into the events that led to the deaths of tens of thousands of people, the significance of which will reverberate for decades.
