1,000 days later: Kibbutz Holit family shares never-before-seen video taken on Oct. 7 of their home

Assessment
The release of private video from October 7, showing a family's return to their bullet-ridden home, personalizes the destruction of Kibbutz Holit in a way official documentation cannot. The emotional weight of the footage may intensify public scrutiny of the government's response to the attack and its aftermath. How this material is used by media and investigators will shape the enduring narrative of that day's events.
