Two years after the devastating terror attack on October 7, 2023, Israel presented a digital monument of remembrance and clarification. The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism has launched the website “The Missing October 7th Files.” It provides access to numerous original documents and pieces of evidence secured by Israel’s security forces since the onset of the war in the Gaza Strip.

The collection demonstrates that the attack on Israel was by no means a spontaneous eruption of violence but the result of years of planning, targeted indoctrination, and systematic preparation. Among the published materials are handwritten orders from slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, detailed operational instructions for the attackers, and maps with marked targets—including Israeli villages, kindergartens, and synagogues.

Particularly shocking are documents in which Islamic clerics issued fatwas—Islamic legal rulings—that were intended to legitimize the killing of Jews. This religiously-cloaked ideology formed the moral foundation of the massacre and reveals how deeply hatred of Israel and the Jews was entrenched.

The Ministry stated that the new archive aims to “make the organized malice behind October 7 visible.” It shows how manuals, orders, and religious texts together painted a picture of systematic destruction. The attack was not only a terrorist assault but an hate-filled act of genocide.

The website also serves as a digital memorial for truth and remembrance. It is directed at the international public to document the facts and counter the growing attempts to distort or relativize the events.

A barbaric massacre, planned and organized in every detail by an Islamo-Nazi organization that must be wiped off the face of the earth.

On October 7, 2023, approximately 6,000 terrorists from the Gaza Strip infiltrated Israel—members of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, and other armed groups. They murdered about 1,200 people, injured thousands, and abducted 251 Israelis into the Gaza Strip. Even today, two years later, 48 hostages remain in Hamas’s captivity. According to Israeli estimates, about 20 of them are still alive.

With “The Missing October 7th Files,” Israel makes a stand against forgetting. It is not only a collection of evidence but a digital testimony—a call to preserve the truth and confront lies.
