At least 40 babies killed in Hamas attack on Israel

At least 40 babies were slain by the terror organisation in one of the horrific aspects of the Hamas attack on Israel, according to the Israeli media. After being called up for reserve duty, a number of soldiers arrived expecting the worst, yet the scenes were unimaginable. Some soldiers claim to have discovered babies with their heads severed and whole families shot dead in their beds. According to i24 News, thus far, some 40 infants and small children have been transported on gurneys. After Hamas conducted a vicious “surprise attack” on Israel on October 7, at least 900 Israelis were killed and more than 2,616 others were hurt. International media were also taken by the IDF earlier that day to Kfar Azza, a border-area kibbutz where some 70 people perished in a catastrophic Hamas terrorist strike. “It’s not a war, it’s not a battlefield, it’s a massacre,” IDF Major General Itai Veruv said. “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,” Times of Israel quoted Veruv as saying. He added, “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”. Hamas conducted a brutal “surprise attack” on Israel on October 7, which resulted in at least 900 Israelis dying and more than 2,616 more being injured. An extensive operation by the Israeli Air Force was launched against Hamas terror objectives in the Gaza Strip. According to the Israeli Air Force, fighter jets hit a number of Hamas terrorist objectives around the Gaza Strip. Israel has deployed 3,000 troops in the previous 48 hours as part of its response to Hamas. When the mobilisation was announced, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari stated that the IDF “had never mobilised so many reservists so quickly—300,000 reservists in 48 hours. Additionally, the IDF declared that it had reclaimed control of the border with the Gaza Strip 72 hours after Hamas terrorists broke through portions of the barrier and began an incursion that resulted in the murder or kidnapping of over 1,000 Israelis.
