Video: The footage showing the Hamas deception

The report said the drone identified suspicious activity when a Hamas tractor started digging a pit in the area. Terrorists then took the body of an Israeli fallen soldier from a nearby structure, put it in the freshly dug pit, and started covering it with dirt. The organization then called the Red Cross to the site and showed them the "retrieval" of the body from the fresh grave.

The footage streamed live to the joint command center in Kiryat Gat and was sent to the Americans. The immediate response was stopping Hamas operatives from entering Israeli-controlled territory. They had entered unarmed and "searched" with the Red Cross and Egyptian officials.

The footage exists but hasn't been released. Soldiers confirmed the entire sequence was fully documented by the IDF drone. The military has not released the material.

Despite Israel's documentary evidence, international pressure on the organization stays limited. Right now, the main sanction is closing the Rafah crossing. Israel has more tools available to increase pressure but doesn't use them at this stage.

The hope is that the field documentation, if and when released, will show the world Hamas' manipulative methods and attempts to distort reality before international actors.

The post appeared after testimonies emerged from flotilla personnel arriving from Europe. Hairston wrote, "Just as murderers and rapists possess a right to exist in prison, so the Israeli leadership deserves long lives behind bars." She continued, "The testimonies of the detainees from the flotilla are horrifying. The genocide state in full display – beatings, being held kneeling with hands cuffed behind the back for hours, denial of medical treatment, degrading treatment, and threats. Not to mention that abducting the people from the flotilla in international waters constitutes a violation of international maritime law."

Tel-Hai College issued a response, "The lecturer's serious statements were written on her personal account and do not represent the position of Tel-Hai Academic College as an academic institution. Tel-Hai Academic College stands proudly with Israeli Air Force soldiers and security forces and thanks them for their dedication and protection of the State of Israel and its citizens. Many of our students served in the reserves during the past two years. During this period, as we return with excitement to our northern campuses after more than two years, the opening of the academic year represents the resilience of the region and Tel-Hai's deep commitment to the Galilee community and Israeli society."

Professors for a Strong Israel issued a statement, "Israeli academia must not function as a sanctuary for lecturers who slander the State of Israel. Following Dr. Ilana Hairston's statements from Tel-Hai College, comparing the State of Israel to the Third Reich, Professors for a Strong Israel warns that this represents a serious and persistent phenomenon of lecturers in higher education institutions who abuse freedom of expression to damage the State of Israel and Israeli Air Force soldiers."

Shachar Yifrach, chairman of the Tel-Hai Student Union, stated, "Dr. Ilana Hairston's post crosses a red line both clearly and publicly. The union vigorously condemns these statements. Comparing the State of Israel to the Third Reich is a perilous comparison that damages Holocaust memory and harms reserve soldiers, including our students who risked their lives for the state. The union adopted the IHRA definition against antisemitism last year, and we invite the college and other institutions nationwide to adopt the definition as we have."
