On Monday, the Israeli army presented images obtained from Hamas members to journalists, urging them to remind the world of the atrocities that occurred during Hamas's attacks on Israel on October 7. Simultaneously, a Hamas leader claimed that the purpose of the attacks on October 15 was not to kill civilians. Israeli officials stated that the images, compiled in less than an hour and shown to media reporters, are only part of hundreds of hours of footage collected from body cameras, the bodies of Hamas forces, and eyewitnesses, detailing the operations, planning, and instructions for attacks on Jewish neighborhoods and hostage-taking. This evidence was released as Khaled Mashal, the former head of Hamas, claimed in an exclusive interview with 'Sky' on Monday that 'Hamas did not plan to kill civilians in the attacks on October 15, and if any killings occurred, it was certainly not the goal.' He also rejected Israeli officials' statements regarding 'new, more brutal tactics adopted by Hamas,' asserting that civilians were not targeted in the recent Hamas attacks on Israel. Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, on Tuesday, October 25, referred to the killing of Israeli civilians by Hamas militants as 'false' and stated that Israeli settlers 'are not civilians but are all armed.' He added, 'Even if they are civilians, how many civilians were killed?' According to the latest reports, at least 1,400 people were killed in the October 15 Hamas attack on the Israeli population, with more than 200 taken hostage by Hamas.
