# The story they don't want you to see

The suffering in Gaza is real. To understand it, you have to see how Hamas brings the battlefield into the places civilians should be safest, uses their lives to protect its terrorists, teaches children the hatred that sustains the war, and says it will attack again.

This is a 12-minute cut of the full documentary, for anyone who has not seen it yet. The commanders in it fought in Gaza after October 7 and describe what they saw firsthand. Every piece of footage is identified by its source.

## A barefoot three-year-old

A barefoot three-year-old walked toward Israeli soldiers, holding his father's hand. His father was a Hamas terrorist. As they approached, he held the boy in front of his own body, using his son as a shield.

The soldiers arrested the father. Then they carried the barefoot boy back to safety. He was never the enemy. He had been put in danger by the person who was supposed to protect him.

## The people Hamas claims to protect (1:00)

Hamas says it defends the people of Gaza. On the ground it blocks evacuation routes, shoots at families trying to move south, and seizes aid trucks at gunpoint, storing the food for its terrorists and selling the rest on the black market. Civilians in Gaza are not the enemy. They are threatened and controlled by Hamas too.

> "We found huge stockpiles of food with the terrorists in operational apartments and all kinds of hideouts." (A commander in the film)

## How Hamas brings war into childhood (2:36)

Hamas uses children and women as couriers for ammunition and as lookouts. Soldiers found an anti-tank bomb under a child's bed, mortar shells beside a baby's playpen, and copies of Mein Kampf in homes. Coloring books for small children show Jews committing crimes and IDF soldiers shooting children.

> "Almost every house you walk into, you see copies of Mein Kampf." (Lt. Col. D.)

## When safe places become military bases (4:54)

Hamas booby-traps whole apartment buildings, drills passages between homes and puts firing positions and tunnel shafts inside bedrooms. A kindergarten next to a training compound was full of weapons; terrorists came out of a shaft beside it and fired an RPG. Mosques, schools, clinics and hospitals, including Shifa, served as command posts.

> "So is this a kindergarten or a Hamas training camp?" (Maj. (res.) Y., Company Commander, Infantry Brigade)

## An enemy who hides as a civilian (6:53)

Hamas terrorists shed their uniforms and fight in civilian clothes. They hide among people fleeing the fighting and pose as medics, or even as hostages. When people walk out unarmed from the building that just fired on the soldiers, the soldiers have seconds to decide, and they hold fire.

> "We didn't meet a single terrorist in uniform." (A commander in the film)

## Why the buildings fall (7:46)

The world sees a civilian building destroyed. The film shows what was inside specific buildings: a tunnel shaft in one room, bombs ready in the next. It shows the leaflets that warned civilians to leave, and a munition diverted from its target to avoid harming civilians. The rule the commanders describe is simple: when in doubt, don't.

> "In one room, there's a tunnel shaft. In the other room, bombs ready to go." (A commander in the film)

## Hamas says it will do it again (9:52)

The tunnels, the weapons and the hatred taught to children are not only evidence of the last attack. Where Hamas still holds ground it keeps digging in among the population. Its leaders have said in public that October 7 was only the first time.

> "To prepare the next October 7th." (A commander in the film)

## In their own words

> "The Al-Aqsa Flood is just the first time. There will be a second, a third, a fourth."

## The whole story matters

That barefoot boy was never the enemy. Neither are the families in Gaza trying to escape. Hamas makes their lives part of its strategy: it builds its battlefield beneath their homes, schools and hospitals, places civilians inside it, and then prevents them from leaving.

Israelis and Jews are its targets. Civilians in Gaza are its shields. Children on both sides pay the price.
