The images revealed by Reuters show the attackers arriving on motorcycles and searching vehicles, two bodies emerging, almost thrown from the car.
The armed men leave the scene, but others return moments later.
They recovered a body and then left the scene in a minivan, driving backwards.

Reuters was able to confirm the location of the CCTV footage by comparing infrastructure, tree layout and road shape with satellite images and archival footage of the area.
At the entrance to Kibbutz Beeri, located less than five kilometers from the border with Gaza, a pile of corpses was found a few hours after the attacks.
At this location, more than a hundred residents were killed, according to the army.

“The devastation here is absolutely immense,” lamented Doron Spielman, spokesperson for the Israeli army once there.
“And that’s without counting the many members of the kibbutz who were taken hostage and taken to Gaza,” added another spokesperson, Jonathan Cornicus.
During this offensive, Hamas kidnapped several dozen Israeli hostages, foreign and binational, whom it threatened to execute.

Israel has vowed to wipe out the Hamas movement that rules the Gaza Strip, in retaliation for the deadliest attack on civilians in Israeli history, when hundreds of gunmen breached the fence and ransacked towns SATURDAY.
The Kan public broadcaster said the Israeli death toll stood at more than 1,300.
Most were civilians shot dead in their homes, on the street or at a dance party. Many Israeli and foreign hostages were brought back to Gaza; Israel claims to have identified 97.
