DISCLAIMER: Video contains graphic content.

The Killing Roads, directed by acclaimed award-winning filmmaker Igal Hecht, whose films have been showcased on Netflix, Prime, BBC and HBO, delves into the harrowing accounts of victims, survivors, and first responders who endured the brutal terrorist attacks orchestrated by Hamas on October 7, 2023. Set against the backdrop of the main roads where the atrocities unfolded, the film captures the raw emotions and resilience of those impacted by the barbaric violence.

The horrific assault on Israel, orchestrated by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, bore witness to a level of brutality that echoed the darkest chapters of history. The toll of this aggression was staggering, with over 1200 lives lost and hundreds more held captive. Women and men were raped, murdered and burnt. Children were shot to death in-front of their parents. The bodies of the dead were desecrated. Hamas’s brutality knew no bounds. This was a blood bath aimed at murdering as many Jews as possible. This was The largest death toll of Jews in one day since the Holocaust.

In the aftermath of the devastating onslaught, the true scale of destruction became painfully clear. In Re'eim National Park, where a vibrant dance party celebrating peace and love had drawn nearly 3000 attendees, the scene turned into a nightmare. Over 350 individuals were brutally murdered, with many women subjected to horrific acts of rape and bodies left unrecognizable due to the extent of burning. Men faced execution, with their bodies mutilated in unspeakable ways,

Amidst this desolation, however, a tragic narrative remained largely overlooked - the harrowing events that unfolded along Roads 232 and 34. These routes, once lifelines connecting communities, had been transformed into death traps by the barbaric attacks. Terrorists, armed and ruthless, prowled the roads in Toyota vans and motorcycles, hunting down unsuspecting civilians with impunity. Families out for a leisurely drive or bike ride were mercilessly gunned down, their lives snuffed out in a hail of bullets.

The grim aftermath of these atrocities was meticulously documented by the perpetrators themselves, as they callously captured their heinous deeds on GoPro cameras. The charred remains of vehicles and human beings bore witness to the ruthless violence that had torn through these once-peaceful thoroughfares, leaving behind a trail of devastation and despair. Hundreds perished on those roads, reduced to faceless numbers, mere statistics in the eyes of the world. The haunting truth consumed me for months until I could bear it no longer. Determined not to let their memories fade into oblivion, I made the journey to Israel, committed to ensuring that they are never forgotten.

The denial of the horrors of October 7th began on that fateful day. Antisemites and pro-Hamas activists have propagated lies, seeking to justify the barbaric acts against Israelis. It is imperative that we combat these falsehoods with the stark truth and undeniable facts of what transpired on that dark day.
