Inside Israel’s High-Tech Campaign to Kill or Capture Every Oct. 7 Attacker

WSJ | Dov Lieber
Israel has initiated a high-tech campaign aimed at identifying, killing, or capturing every militant responsible for the October 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel. This systematic effort leverages advanced surveillance capabilities to meticulously track down individuals who documented their actions during the assault, demonstrating Israel's significant intelligence acumen and its profound desire for retribution.
The campaign directly responds to the devastating Hamas attack, which resulted in 1,200 fatalities and approximately 250 hostages, including a couple abducted from a desert music festival. Hours after the militants crossed from Gaza, a harrowing video emerged showing an Israeli woman screaming, "Don't kill me," as she was forcibly taken on a motorcycle, sandwiched between two kidnappers, while her boyfriend was restrained by Gazan men. This video was among the first terrifying images that underscored the brutality of the assault.
