In a shocking turn of events, the footage captured by Lt. Col. Aran Messes during the aftermath of the surprise attack by Hamas has surfaced online. The video, which was filmed on the Lieutenant Colonel’s personal phone, documents the devastating scene at a nature party in the Gaza Strip. Messes, who had gone to the site to assist survivors and aid in the recovery process, was among the first witnesses to the magnitude of the tragedy.
According to Messes, his decision to film the distressing scenes served two significant purposes. Firstly, he believed that recording the events would provide concrete evidence of the horrific incident, as he feared people would struggle to believe the extent of the massacre otherwise. Secondly, he wanted to have a memento for his wife and children, in case anything happened to him during the rescue operations.
Messes revealed that after realizing there were no survivors left at the scene, he took immediate action to prevent the abduction of the victims’ bodies. He tirelessly moved the deceased to a secure location, using a cart, while making calls to the military for additional support. His swift actions and dedication helped in gathering the bodies until the army arrived on the scene.
However, the Lieutenant Colonel soon discovered that his phone, which contained the recorded footage, had vanished. To his astonishment, the video appeared on social media about a month later. Messes expressed disbelief, stating that he was the only one with access to the video and had no intention of sharing it publicly. He could not comprehend the fact that the horrifying scenes he witnessed were now public knowledge.
Despite his heroic actions on that fateful day, Messes remains humble. He refuses to accept praise, highlighting that in a situation like this, everyone involved is either a victim or someone who could have prevented the tragedy. However, the Lieutenant Colonel is determined to retrieve his missing phone. His goal is to continue aiding families in identifying their loved ones, as he had taken several other videos, which he believes are crucial for the identification process.
Lt. Col. Aran Messes is a true exemplar of courage and dedication, displaying immense bravery in the face of unimaginable horror. As the search for his missing phone continues, his selfless efforts to support the victims’ families and bring closure amidst the devastation are a testament to his character and the indomitable spirit of those who put their lives on the line to help others.
