Gruesome details of the Hamas terror attack on Israel are now emerging.
On 10 October, press representatives were granted access to witness the aftermath of the tragic attack in Kfar Aza, a community in souther Israel brutally targeted by Hamas terrorists.
The Israeli military allowed media entry into one of the communities affected by attack. Kibbutz Kfar Aza, located just a short distance from the Gaza Strip, revealed scenes of devastation.
Describing the heart-wrenching scene, IDF Major General Itai Veruv said: "It’s not a war, it’s not a battlefield. You see the babies, the mother, the father, in their bedrooms, in their protection rooms, and how the terrorists killed them. It's a massacre".
Reservist soldiers, many of whom were called up, are said to be grappling with the emotional toll of the harrowing scenes they have witnessed. As per this report, some soldiers 'say they found babies with their heads cut off, entire families gunned down in their beds'.
As per the report, navigating through each house proves to be a formidable challenge for the soldiers due to the prevalence of booby traps. The press was cautioned to avoid certain areas that had not yet been cleared of explosives.
