Investigative Unit (I-Unit) carries out a forensic analysis of the events of October 7, 2023, the day that transformed the politics of the Middle East. By examining hours of footage from CCTV, dashcams, personal phones and headcams of dead Hamas fighters, the I-Unit reveals widespread human rights abuses by Hamas fighters and others who followed them through the fence from Gaza into Israel. But the investigation also found that many of the worst stories that came out in the days following the attack were false. <em>October 7 </em>is a deep dive into events that led to the deaths of tens of thousands of people, the significance of which will reverberate for decades.</p> </div> </section> <section id="articles" class="scrollspy"> <div
