The Israeli government on Monday screened for 200 members of the foreign press some 43 minutes of harrowing scenes of murder, torture and decapitation from Hamas’s October 7 onslaught on southern Israel, in which over 1,400 people were killed, including raw videos from the terrorists’ bodycams.

...

The footage was collected from call recordings, security cameras, Hamas terrorists’ body cameras, victim dashboard cameras, Hamas and victims’ social media accounts, and cellphone videos taken by terrorists, victims and first responders. Over 1,000 civilians were slaughtered by the terrorists, and at least 224 people were abducted.

In semi-related news, the IDF claim to be holding over 1000 bodies of Hamas terrorists who entered Israeli territory on October 7th.

IDF claim to be holding over 1000 bodies of Hamas terrorists who entered Israeli territory on October 7th.

This claim doesn't appear to be in your article. I've been looking for a source about the estimated number of Hamas that entered on the 7th.

I've seen a few estimates. Some sources have said 1,500. The one I saw today was reported on Channel 12's live feed (hebrew warning) reported at 10:45.

Google translate spits out:

In addition to this, the IDF spokesman noted that the army has over a thousand dead bodies and prisoners among the Hamas terrorists, and that "this figure indicates the nature of the fighting in the Otef, the heroism of the fighters, civilians and the standby units." Brigadier General Hagari added that 14 trucks with aid were brought into the Strip Humanitarian, where the emphasis is that fuel does not enter the strip. In the northern sector, the IDF eliminated eight terrorist squads that tried to launch anti-tank missiles in the last day. Since the beginning of the fighting, 20 terrorist squads of Hezbollah have been eliminated.
