Babies decapitated, grandparents slaughtered and families ripped apart, that was the full horror of ‘Israel’s 9/11 that has emerged.
Hamas gunmen slaughtered 40 children in one farm settlement alone, their small bodies lying in their rooms perforated with bullets.
As shellshocked survivors told their stories, one grieving grandson, Shmuel Harel, said that they were the new Nazis. This was a holocaust pure and simple.
He said his terrified 90-year-old grandmother’s last moments were being dragged into her living room and shot twice in the head.
A sobbing Israeli woman said she had to listen in helpless horror as her 12-year-old autistic daughter was kidnapped while clinging desperately to her grandmother.
As avenging Israel unleashes hell in military retaliation, shocked survivors gather at refugee hotels a safe distance from the front line, where they weep.
Last night at the Leonardo Plaza Hotel on the Dead Sea, dozens were sat in the lobby and coffee shop, some carrying photographs of loved ones slaughtered or kidnapped.
Galit Dan, 53, told how her daughter Noya, 12, went off for a sleepover with her grandmother Carmela, 80. As the sickening attack unfolded, Noya sent a harrowing voice message to her mother, whispering: ‘Mummy, I’m scared. There are people in the house. Help me.’
Her mother said: ‘These animals came for them. We have heard nothing from them and their bodies have not been found among the dead, so we believe they have been taken. I am living every parent’s nightmare – every parent in the world will feel our pain.’
Hamas terrorists decapitated babies and gunned down entire families in their homes in the Kfar Aza kibbutz, the Israeli military said. Bodies there litter the streets among burnt-out houses, strewn furniture and torched cars.
The Israeli soldiers were going house to house removing the dead raged that innocents were slaughtered ‘not in war, not on the battlefield, but in their beds’.
At nearby Kisufim kibbutz, a settlement of 375 peace-loving souls tending to avocado trees and herds of dairy cows, horror was unleashed at 6.20 a.m. on Saturday as the grenade-lobbing Hamas terrorists swept in.
Kibbutz resident Mr Harel, 33, said: ‘They came to kill, and to abuse, and to desecrate. They came to my grandmother’s house. She was 90.’ Jina Semiaitz, who had lived on the kibbutz since she was a young woman, had heard the shots and gone into her armoured shelter, but did not lock the door, he said.
This is beyond evil. No words will ever make me understand how one human being could do this to another human being.
Only cowards kill people who can’t defend themselves and they’re pitiful excuses for human beings and my heart goes out to those poor souls that have been slaughtered and kidnapped.
How could these vicious monsters commit such things to babies and children? These people have no respect for life!
Evil is well and truly rampant and this is humanity at its lowest. Whoever is in support of this and justifies this is also evil but only monsters justify monsters.
I just can’t imagine having that much hatred in my heart.
This is very hard to understand, but we actually have to do that. We have to read about it, and listen to the news reports and videos just so we know what wickedness there is out there in the world. We should not ignore this because we owe it to the victims not to forget, because if we forget it will happen over and over again.
