Accompanied by JCFA researchers' team, Mosab Hassan Yousef walks us through a chilling exhibition on the October 7 atrocities
In this short but packed documentary, Mosab decodes a plan organized in four waves, explains why kidnapping was deliberately prioritized, and shows how specific, written instructions aimed to paralyze defense and maximize destruction.
This documentary, filmed by Adi Ornai, moment is not speculation — it’s a forensic reading of orders and intent. Mosab lays out how the phases were defined, how targets were chosen, and how limited battlefield authority was granted to field commanders to carry out the operation. Presented by the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, the piece exposes the operational logic behind one of the deadliest days in recent memory and asks urgent questions about accountability, strategy, and the human cost of political violence.
