Overview
- Security-camera video shows the attack on the Taasa home in Netiv HaAsara, including a grenade thrown into a shelter, the killing of Gil Taasa, and injured sons confronted in the kitchen as a militant opens the refrigerator.
- Benjamin Netanyahu presents the clip alongside bereaved mother Sabine Taasa, urging audiences to remember October 7 and vowing to destroy Hamas and bring hostages home.
- The Prime Minister’s Office says the clip comes from a roughly 45-minute compilation previously shown privately to leaders, diplomats, and journalists, with some segments broadcast by Channel 12 in March 2024.
- Israeli authorities request that media refrain from airing the clip inside Israel out of respect for the family’s wishes.
- No explanation was given for the release date, which coincides with international criticism of a planned Gaza City offensive and a recent UN-backed declaration of famine in northern Gaza.
