After three days of fighting, Palestinian atrocities uncovered: hundreds of civilians massacred in southern communities.

With the reasserted control by the IDF in southern Israel, southern communities were opened to the media. The gruesome scenes shocked the soldiers there and veteran military reporters. There were eyewitness accounts of dozens of murdered infants and children and whole families, some decapitated and mutilated. The death toll continues to spiral toward 1000 and most believe that grim mark will soon be surpassed.

The following report contains shocking details of what soldiers discovering in returning to Kfar Aza, a kibbutz near the Gaza border, where dozens of Israeli were murdered, including whole families shot dead in their bed, babies decapitated and mutilated, body parts strewn everywhere. Seek out the reports of i24 reporter Nicole Zedek in this live stream for the bone-chilling report from the scene of the war crime.

Elsewhere in the video, Brig. Gen. (res.) Amir Avivi said that Israel must not make the collosal mistake of settling for an end-game that involves anything less than the destruction of Hamas as a functioning entity in Gaza. He warns that anything less than a total Israeli victory will not establish deterrence and will lead to a repetition of the onslaught within a couple of years.
