Israel Military: "Not War but Massacre"

Palestinian armed faction Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, committing brutal massacres of civilians, and some of the bodies of murdered infants and toddlers were found to have been beheaded.

According to the British daily The Times on the 10th (local time), following the Hamas surprise attack, cases of entire families, including babies, being shot to death inside their homes such as bedrooms in the Israeli Kfar Aza kibbutz (collective farm) were repeatedly confirmed. The number of infant bodies discovered reached 40, and there are claims that some of these children were beheaded.

The Israeli military reports that more than 100 civilians were massacred by Hamas in the Kfar Aza kibbutz. According to AFP news agency, an Israeli military official said, "Look at how babies, mothers, and fathers were killed by terrorists in their bedrooms and shelters," adding, "This is not war. This is genocide."

The exact number of casualties has not been confirmed, but concerns have been raised that the damage may be more severe than in the Be'eri kibbutz. Previously, over 100 bodies were found in the southern Be'eri kibbutz near the Gaza Strip.

On social media platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, videos have been released showing Hamas militants dragging civilians away. According to foreign media, a woman revealed that on the 7th, Hamas killed her grandmother, a resident of Nir Oz kibbutz near the Gaza Strip, at her home, and she recorded and posted the footage on Facebook as proof.

Meanwhile, on the 11th, the Israeli Embassy to the United Nations announced that at least 1,008 people have died and 3,418 have been injured in Israel so far. It is estimated that Hamas is holding between 100 and 150 hostages, including Israeli military officers, residents, and foreigners.

The death toll within the Gaza Strip also reaches at least 900. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, among the deceased are 260 children and 230 women, and there have been 22 cases where entire families were wiped out. The number of injured is 4,500.
