Who were the militants who swept in from Gaza to southern Israel on Oct. 7 and killed more than 1,400 men, women and children?
Some of them spray painted their names and the names of militias in blue, brown and green letters on the outside walls of a home they ravaged.
Some of them videotaped their brutality wearing body cameras.
Nearly 2,000 people attacked 29 different locations, including residential communities and army bases, Israel says.
Many of them returned to Gaza — taking an estimated 222 hostages with them.
But hundreds of Hamas fighters were killed, and dozens were detained, by Israeli forces.
As Israeli bombardments on the Gaza Strip continue, which Gaza health officials say have claimed the lives of more than 7,000 Palestinians, new details are emerging about the men who carried out the brutal violence in Israel that sparked the current war.
