Bodies of Israeli residents and Palestinian attackers lay outside burned-out homes in the Israeli kibbutz Kfar Aza on Tuesday, days after Hamas launched a large-scale surprise assault on Israel.
Hamas sent waves of heavily armed fighters pouring across the border from Gaza and rampaging through rural communities – Israel said it found 1,500 bodies of militants in the aftermath of the assault.
Houses in Kfar Aza were ransacked and set ablaze. Overturned mattresses, destroyed furniture, broken trinkets and unexploded grenades lay strewn across the grounds, along with bodies – a window into the scale of devastation wrought by Hamas in this area.
“I’ve never seen anything like this in my career, never in 40 years of service this something I never imagined,” Maj. Gen. Itai Veruv told CNN on Tuesday, just a few hours after Israeli troops secured the kibbutz from Hamas assailants.
In Kfar Aza, the IDF was going house to house, collecting the dead in body bags and loading them onto a truck. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) told CNN that women, children, toddlers and elderly were “brutally butchered in an ISIS way of action.”

This is interesting because Aljazeera (Arabic) is denying this.
AJ’s Arabic Language edition is WILDLY less reputable compared to their foreign language editions.
The Arabic Language version is basically the Qatari Monarch’s personal screed piece.

The one thing the Ukraine invasion taught me is that both sides lie to make the other one look worse. Reading this report makes it seem like the IDF desecrated bodies to make a dumb point.

There’s approx 14 million Palestinian people. To claim all of them are as bad as a group like Hamas is either incredibly stupid or incredibly bigoted.

if the Palestinians are blameless then why arent they rounding up hamas cultists and giving them to the Israelis?
This point specifically is bat-shit fucking stupid enough to deserve its own comment. It makes absolutely no sense at all for random Palestinian civilians to take on the dominant military power of the region they live in in the middle of an armed conflict and trying to use that as justification for your earlier points is stupid.
You should learn to distinguish between systems of governance, political parties in power and the innocent people subject to these things. It is incredibly stupid to use this faulty reasoning to justify hatred for millions of innocent people and you are a piece of shit for choosing to do this.
Also, your point about the “Palestinian government” knowing who “each and every Hamas member is” juxtaposed by you talking about “studying history” is pretty funny. You realize Hamas is the defacto controlling political party governing the Palestinian territories right?
It seems you also have failed to study history, or atleast are willingly ignoring most of it.
Well if they’re not fans of terrorist organizations, why would they hand the Hamas to another one?
Cue racism, good job you win the race to the bottom.
I’m about sick of seeing all this one-sided hasbara crap.
