Shocking video shows the violence of a Hamas terrorist as the group began their shock sunrise attack on October 7 that has killed over 1,200 people and sparked new tensions in the Middle East.
The video, released by the Israeli Defence Forces, shows multiple terrorists in various stages of the surprise invasion that led to Hamas killing civilians at the SuperNova music festival and several kibitzes.
The clips - the first publicly released since the attack - also show Hamas members celebrating over the dead bodies of civilians and gives a peak into their underground tunnel network.
It begins on the morning of the attack, as a group of militants are sprung to life by an explosion. The group makes multiple shouts of 'Allahu Akbar!' translated to 'God is great' in Arabic.
At least one of the members made sure they were recording. The video was recovered and released by the IDF to show the horrors of what happened that day.

You even get to see the group of terrorists cross the notoriously destroyed fence meant to keep them on Gaza's eastern border.
After crossing a second security fence, they begin to head toward a kibbutz along the dirt roads, according to CNN.
The soldiers are carrying AK-47 and other weapons, including missiles and rocket-propelled grenades.
Eventually, they open fire before wondering where the Israeli soldiers are, having seen none as they've continued their invasion.
They continue to thank God while one of the men warns not to waste bullets by firing into the air in celebration.
You see them firing as they advance and hitting an Israeli soldier at point blank range with rounds of bullets.
The gunman grabs the soldier's rifle before turning the video on himself to lead a celebration, before introducing himself and saying he's 24 years old.
The brief clip of the underground tunnel shows pathways to a smaller network of tunnels with wire running through and supplies and barrels across the ground.

Another clip shows dashcam footage from an Israeli vehicle trying to get away from the missiles near the festival. Eventually, you can see it start to glide as the driver has been fatally shot.
From here, the group advances on motorbikes, speeding along nearly empty Israeli roads.
Eventually, one of the gunman is shown to have been killed on the video footage by someone at an Israeli base, dropping to the ground in a hail of bullets after making a nearly 10 mile journey.
While this is the first public footage of the attack, Israel has started to release longer clips to politicians.
The footage depicts the murders of 138 people from October 7, less than a 10th of the 1,400 that were killed.
Aside from a handful of propaganda released by Hamas, officials still have no solid information about the health of the hostages taken.
'We have some that we cannot share but it is largely a black hole. We know some have been split in groups, but we don't know how. All we know is they are underground,' Ezra said.
The officials lamented the fact that while the world calls for a humanitarian pause for Gazans, no help has been given for the hostages.

'Humanitarian aid is a two way street. Everyone is calling for humanitarian aid to Gaza but we do not even have the most basic information about our hostages. Why can't the Red Cross be allowed in to ensure they are being fed and have access to medication?' Itay Milner, spokesperson for the Israeli Consulate said.
The officials do not intend to release the video to the public to protect the victims' families.
Their hope is however to show it to enough international journalists to dismiss misinformation that it is fake, and explain the ongoing military campaign.
The war between Israel and Hamas erupted on October 7 after the militant group killed some 1,200 people and seized around 240 captives. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes have killed more than 11,200 people, according to the Palestinian Health Minister in Ramallah.
Another 2,700 have been reported missing.
Around two third of the territory's 2.3 million people have now fled their homes, with most currently residing in the southern part of the coastal strip.
Residents say bread is scarce and supermarket shelves are bare, while families have been forced to cook on wood fires due to a lack of fuel, electricity and running water.
On Wednesday, Israeli defence officials let in some 24,000 litres of fuel, which will only be used for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, in a bid to bring in the limited supplies of food and medicine from Egypt.
