On the eve of the first anniversary of the October 7 massacre, the IDF is publishing previously unreleased footage from the onslaught.
The first clip shows troops of the elite Multidomain Unit, or “Ghost” Unit, operating in Kibbutz Re’im on the morning of October 7.
During the battle against dozens of Hamas terrorists, the commander of the unit, Col. Roi Levy, 44, was killed, along with another officer, Cpt. Yotam Ben Bassat, 24.
A second video published by the IDF shows the scene of the battle at Sderot’s police station, after Hamas terrorists took control of the building, killing several officers.
The video was filmed from the tank of the then-commander of the 401st Armored Brigade, Col. Benny Aharon, the IDF says.
