REPORTER: David, it’s hard to even explain exactly, just the mass casualties that happened right here. In fact, the Israeli military says they still don’t have a clear number, but I’m talking to some of the soldiers, and they say what they’ve witnessed as they’ve been walking through these different houses, these different communities. Babies, their heads cut off, that’s what they said. Gunned down, families completely gunned down in their beds. You can see some of these soldiers right now comforting each other.
The reporter goes on to describe the house-to-house fighting that is still ongoing, with the bodies of those murdered being found every hour. Booby traps are also set in the area, worsening the recovery efforts for those that were massacred.
The kibbutz in question is positioned near the Southern border with the Gaza Strip and was one of the places hit by Hamas. Obviously, the horror that took place is difficult to process.
This is a developing story.
Hamas are butchers and no pity should be shown them. Killing even beheading babies, families and then crying when their people are killed. I hope Israel bombs them oblivion. Biden gave Palestinians 730 million 2021 approx. for their refugees when that money could have been spent for America. Money should never be given to countries like Iraq, Iran or Palestine. Thanks Biden for being such an idiot President.
