The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) released new footage of the 2023 Hamas assault on southern Israel, on the first anniversary of the October 7 attacks
Drone footage released on Monday shows Israeli soldiers, as well as civilians taking cover during the attack on Kibbutz Re'im.
“On the morning of October 7th, the Hamas terrorist organisation launched a murderous attack on the State of Israel. Security forces swiftly moved south and fought heroically, shoulder to shoulder with the civilian defence forces, to halt the attack and protect the Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip and the entire country,” the IDF statement read.
“On October 7th, the Multidimensional Unit fought battles in the communities and kibbutzim along the border communities, including Erez, Urim, Re'im, Be'eri, Alumim, and Nahal Oz,” it continued.
“In the heroic battle in Kibbutz Re'im, during which dozens of terrorists were eliminated, the Commander of the Multidimensional Unit, Colonel Roi Yosef Levi, and a training company commander in the unit, Captain Yotam Ben Bassat, fell in combat,” the statement concluded.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched an unprecedented assault on southern Israel, killing 1,139 people, mostly civilians, and taking more than 200 hostages, according to the Israeli side. Israel initiated an air campaign and a ground offensive in Gaza, where Palestinian authorities claim nearly 42,000 people have been killed at time of publication.
A number of hostage-prisoner swaps have taken place, although talks to agree a permanent ceasefire have stalled. The conflict recently spread to Lebanon, where Israel launched a 'limited' ground incursion against militant group Hezbollah following a campaign of airstrikes. The sides have conducted cross-border strikes since the outbreak of the Gaza war.
