Speaking about the Kfar Aza massacre, IDF Major General Itai Veruv said, “It’s not a war, it’s not a battlefield, it’s a massacre.”
He added, “You see the babies, their mothers, and their fathers, in their bedrooms, and in their protected rooms, and how the terrorists killed them — it’s not a war. It’s something that I never saw in my life. We used to imagine our grandmothers and grandfathers during the pogroms in Europe. It’s not something that we have seen in recent history.”
"It's not a battlefield. It's a massacre."

After the search and clearance operations, Israeli soldiers went from house to house to take away the dead bodies of Israeli residents. During the visit accompanied by foreign media, the Israeli soldiers found that the Hamas terrorists had ravaged the village, and burned houses and vehicles. The stench of bodies was heavy in the air as reporters walked the paths of the kibbutz, Reuters reported.
One soldier shouted, “Tell the world what you saw here.”
According to local media reports, a woman was found dead with a fetus next to her, still attached to its umbilical cord while an elderly woman was found in a pool of blood, her body riddled with bullet holes. In some cases, entire families were burned to death in their homes.
The stories from southern Israel get worse by the hour.

Earlier, it had come to light that Hamas terrorists turned an Israeli music festival into a massacre where more than 260 dead bodies were recovered. During the horrifying incident, women were raped near the dead bodies of their friends and dozens were taken to Gaza as hostages.
Notably, one of the first locations that the Hamas terrorists attacked was the Supernova music festival that was taking place close to the Gaza Strip. The survivors have spoken up about the terrifying ordeal that included the rape of women, abduction, and merciless murders at the hands of Hamas terrorists. Reports noted that over 260 dead bodies have already been recovered at the festival site.
Some videos that have been captured on reveal how Hamas targeted innocent Israeli civilians and inflicted brutalities in Israel.
The recent Israel-Hamas war started after the State of Israel came under attack by Palestine-based Islamic terror outfit Hamas on Saturday (7th October), resulting in the death of more than 900 Israelis. About 2400 people have been wounded and over 100 still remain in the captivity of the terrorists.
It is notable here that the initial reports of over 40 babies being “beheaded” are being questioned. Turkish and Arab media houses have called it propaganda, citing the lack of visual evidence.
While the available details indicate that the claims of children being massacred are credible, it is yet unconfirmed whether Hamas actually lined up babies and beheaded them. Some media reports in this regard may be unconfirmed news.
Jorunalist Nocole Zedek, who first broke the news, has issued a clarification, saying that the exact death toll in the area is unknown. While reporting from the ground at the site of the massacre, she said that she was told by soldiers that the dead may include over 40 children. But the exact number is unknown.
Soldiers told me they believe 40 babies/children were killed. The exact death toll is still unknown as the military continues to go house to house and find more Israeli casualties. https://t.co/PEGSFXgb9x
