NPR has interviewed neighbors and relatives of one of the attackers and reviewed footage and information the Israeli military says it collected from villages and militants.
A destroyed home is seen in Kibbutz Be'eri, a community that was attacked by Hamas militants almost three weeks ago near the Israeli-Gaza border.

And their mass killings, kidnappings and brutality have forever changed the lives of Israelis and Palestinians.Among the throngs who crossed into Israel on Oct. 7 was a 25-year-old man named Mohammed. Mohammed disappeared on the day of the attacks, his neighbor said. His family only discovered what happened the next day, when a fellow militant returned from Israel back to Gaza with Mohammed's cellphone and personal effects, and told Mohammed's family what had happened.He said Mohammed had made it a mile or two inside Israel when an Israeli aircraft shot him — five bullets to the chest, one near the neck — and recited the"May God be merciful with him," his father told NPR.
Harel Chorev, a Palestinian affairs expert at the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Tel Aviv University, says Hamas' goal is to break down Israeli society, which it sees as a colonialist people without real roots in the land. "I'm not a radical Muslim, but those who belong to Hamas, I think it becomes part of the socialization process, part of the education process ... hating the Jews or hating Israel as an occupier," says Palestinian political analyst Mkhaimar Abusada, who is in Gaza."That probably explains the brutality that took place on the 7th of October."
The military posted some of the raw footage online, and showed 43 minutes of some of the more explicit videos to foreign media, including NPR.At Be'eri, gunmen waited for a car to approach and open the kibbutz's main gate, before shooting the driver and infiltrating the community.
