Israel released security camera footage from October 7, which shows Hamas gunmen who crossed into Israel chase people from an outdoor music festival, with one seen executing a woman at point-blank range.
Israel is attempting to deflect criticism from across the world on its handling of the Hamas assault, which precipitated a catastrophic conflict in Gaza. Despite mounting calls for a ceasefire, Israel has said it will push on with its campaign until Hamas is eradicated.
"This is a war between good and evil," said a post shared on social media with the video footage by an account linked to Israel's Foreign Ministry.

The video shows people running from Hamas gunmen as they tried to escape a festival near the border on Oct. 7 that turned into a massacre.
The video ends with one of the ladies being hunted crouching on the ground and a shooter standing close to her. Shortly after, the shooter lifts his weapon and opens fire at the woman, causing her to topple down. He pulled on the trigge r, and a cloud of dust rose from the ground in the silent footage.
Israel is under increasing pressure to accept a truce in Gaza, where the government led by Hamas claims that at least 13,300 people have died, including at least 5,600 children.
