Israel’s military has discovered unspeakable horrors in an Israeli community that was attacked by Hamas on Saturday, including dozens of dead babies, some with of their heads chopped off, Israeli media reported. 

According to local Israeli outlet i24News, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers moved into Kfar Aza, the one of the communities Hamas terrorists invaded early Saturday morning, and discovered about 40 dead babies, some decapitated — highlighting the brutality of the invading forces. 

IDF were removing the bodies of victims found in the area when they found the childrens’ remains. Israeli soldiers are attempting to use bones to identify the victims, according to the report. 

“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,” IDF Major General Itai Veruv said, describing the scene, i24News reported. 

“It’s a massacre.”

On Saturday morning, Hamas-led forces poured over the Israel-Gaza border while residents were still sleeping, dragging residents into the streets, taking some hostage, while beheading and killing others. Over 700 Israelis, including men, women, children, and the elderly, were indiscriminately killed in one day — the largest terror attack in a single day in Israel’s history.

The Israeli army allowed members of the media into Kibbutz Kfar Aza, which is located less than a quarter of a mile away from the Gaza border.

In the city, residents were murdered, and their bodies left lying in the streets. Cars were completely burned, and the devastation was extended to buildings, some of which were abandoned and destroyed.

The outlet described the level of barbarity they witnessed as what the Allied forces must have experienced walking into Nazi-controlled forces during World War II. 

“Many soldiers were called up for reserve service, and could be seen actively consoling each other after what they had to witness. They arrived expecting the worst, but the scenes are beyond anything that one could imagine. Some soldiers say they found babies with their heads cut off, entire families gunned down in their beds. About 40 babies and young children have been taken out on gurneys — so far,” i24News reported.

The outlet added, “The atrocities that were committed with guns, grenades, knives, all targeting innocent civilians in their homes. We can see soccer nets on lawns, a sign of the bucolic life that once existed here. Doors are wide open, strollers left behind, sidewalks destroyed by artillery. There are charred houses, as terrorists burned down houses to drive the civilians sheltering inside to come out.”

According to the report, 200 victims were found in the city.
