Martha MacCallum Chokes Up While Describing Video of Oct. 7 Attack: It ‘Will Haunt Anyone Who Sees It’

Fox News’ Martha MacCallum choked up while describing the uncensored video of Hamas’s October 7th attack on Israeli civilians while on America’s Newsroom Monday, declaring that it would “haunt anyone who sees it.”

The segment began with anchor Dana Perino asking MacCallum to talk about the video, which she and other journalists were allowed to view by Israeli officials. A somber MacCallum obliged:

So on Friday a number of reporters were invited to the Israeli consulate to view the video of the Hamas attack on October 7. Everyone has seen some of these images online, but the unfiltered video is absolutely… It’s so horrific, it’s hard to put into words. And we’ve had our reporters Trey Yingst and Mike Tobin have also watched it and had a similar feeling. But, you know, there is obviously so much blood, so many charred bodies, it’s very difficult, obviously, to watch this.

But the things, the two things that stuck with me, Dana, more than anything, is a moment when two young boys, they’re probably eight and ten, a grenade is thrown into the room where they are with their father and their father’s killed. And then the terrorist, the Hamas terrorists, pulls the boys out and basically pushes them into their kitchen and they’re crying. One of them can’t see from the grenade, and the terrorist starts drinking water or milk or juice out of their refrigerator, and standing in their kitchen. These boys are screaming and one of them says, ‘I want my mother.’ And then he says, ‘Why am I alive?’ It’s a very… I will never forget these two boys.

I, I just can’t imagine. So beyond the blood and the horror is the emotion of, I don’t know if they [the boys] survived, but of the survivors. And the other thing that haunts — will haunt anyone who hears it or sees it — are the phone calls. There’s a Hamas terrorist who calls his parents, and they have a recording of it because it was on a phone that I think was left there or belonged to one of the victims. And he says, ‘Mom and Dad, you will be so proud of me, I’m a hero. I killed ten Jews with my own hands.’ And his parents are cheering and saying that they wish they were with him. It is, it’s horrifying.

And I think that the reason, obviously, that they’re showing it to people is that they don’t want this part of this story to be forgotten. And it is important to remember what the spark was. These people in the Palestinian territory would not be under attack right now. And it’s horrific what is happening to their families as well, but this attack would not be happening if it weren’t for what happened on October 7, so it’s important that we remember that.
