Hamas terrorists massacred at least 40 babies and kids in a sickening rampage in one town – with some found beheaded, Israel claimed.
Israeli soldiers discovered scenes of unimaginable horror in Kfar Aza – a village close to the Gaza border that was captured for two days by the Hamas militants.
The Israeli army has taken back control of the besieged village and its soldiers now face the gut-wrenching task of recovering the bodies of dozens of victims.
Armed with guns, grenades and knives, Hamas terrorists beheaded men, women, children and babies in their beds early on Saturday morning after storming over the border.
Speaking from the scene of the bloodbath, i24News reporter Nicole Zedek said a soldier told her they had found women and “babies with heads cut off”. At least 40 babies and children were slaughtered as entire families were burned alive in their homes and shot dead.
Visibly shaken by the atrocities, Nicole said: “No one could expect it to be like this – the horrors I’m hearing from these soldiers. “About 40 babies at least were taken out on gurneys. They are going house to house still taking out dead bodies.”
She said cots and buggies were abandoned in the streets as terrified families fled the rampaging terrorists – who stormed the village in “waves” every 20 minutes for an agonizing 48 hours.
Amid the burned-out houses, horrifying images show blood-soaked baby seats as Hamas militants appeared to have indiscriminately opened fire on vehicles.
Major General Itai Veruv described sickening scenes of brutal violence – where whole families were murdered in their homes. He told reporters: “You see the babies, the mothers, the fathers, in their bedrooms, in their protection rooms and how the terrorist kills them. “It’s not a war. It’s not a battlefield. It’s a massacre.
“It’s something I’ve never seen in my life. It’s something we used to imagine from our grandfathers, grandmothers in the pogrom in Europe and other places.” Reporters who were allowed into the village on Tuesday described a horrifying “smell of death”.
