Israeli forces have been assessing and working to clean up the damage following Hamas’ attack on Israel over the weekend, with overturned cars, burnt-out buildings, and dead bodies littering the ground in places that were attacked.
At the Kfar Aza kibbutz, Israeli Defense Forces retrieved dead bodies from houses on Tuesday, with the stench of dead wafting through the air, according to a Reuters report from the scene. Both Israelis and Hamas militants were among the dead.
“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,” Israeli Major General Itai Veruv said, according to Reuters. “It's a massacre, it's a terror activity.”
