Jerusalem Post: Israeli videos that documented the Hamas attack on October 7 along the Gaza border despaired
During a visit by senior officers to the headquarters of various brigades of the Israeli army, a worrying matter emerged.
According to the Jerusalem Post, surveillance camera footage along the border, dating back to October 7, the day the war broke out, has mysteriously disappeared.
The Jerusalem Post added that important recordings of the day of the attack launched by Hamas Israel were removed from the central database.
The Israeli army said in an official statement regarding this issue that the videos weren’t deleted, but were limited to employees authorized to view them.
These videos were captured from various Israeli army surveillance cameras along the Gaza border, part of the military network known as “ZiTube”.
According to the Jerusalem Post, it appears that the videos were deliberately deleted to obstruct any in-depth investigations into the events that sparked division within Israel.
A senior reserve officer from one of the battalions recounted the situation, saying, “We were planning to show one of the key figures a video of a particular incident from last week, only to find out that someone had deleted the videos… It was a very embarrassing situation”.
He added, “This later led to doubts about the motives behind these actions, and in the end, special permissions were granted to those who requested to watch the clips, and the question that arises here is whether officers at our level need such permissions”.
According to the Jerusalem Post, sources within the Gaza Division also revealed a glitch in communications recordings since October 7.
According to these sources, some of the recordings either disappeared or were simply downloaded from the network and transferred based on the directives of commanding officers.
Communication recordings are usually deleted after a specified period, unless someone intentionally keeps them within the system.
The Jerusalem Post quoted the sources as saying that it appeared that someone had made a deliberate choice to either transfer these recordings or delete them to ensure that no one would be able to listen to them.
