They are still finding bodies in the neighbourhoods near Gaza.
Recovery teams on Wednesday pulled a woman’s body from the rubble in Kibbutz Be’eri. She was naked, her feet bound with metal wire.
One of the team said the bodies of more than 20 children had been found nearby, tied together and burned.
Even experienced workers are struggling: deaths like this are enough to break the living.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Cats provide the only movement - sliding between bright toys strewn across gardens, the collapsed rooves, the charred gaping skeletons of people’s homes.
A neighbour identified Danny’s body on the morning after the attack, but the family are still waiting for official confirmation that he is dead.
His half-brother, Lior Peri, was expecting him back in Tel Aviv the day before, but Danny decided to stay on an extra night.
Lior received a text message on Saturday morning, as the attack unfolded, saying: “S**t, big balagan [chaos] in the kibbutz.”
With hundreds of thousands of troops now ranged along the border, Israel is eyeing the next stage of this war - a major offensive operation inside Gaza, aimed at destroying Hamas.
The families of Israel’s hostages and missing are still frozen in the hours after the attack, left without answers, and caught between two different traumas: their nation’s and their own.
The original article contains 738 words, the summary contains 151 words. Saved 80%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Is this supposed to distract me from the bombing of churches and children? I can haz multitasking.
It’s possible they are both awful, but individually yes this report is rough to read.
It’s disgusting that as a result of this article, you still feel the need to come here and say Israel is bad.
Are they not? They have killed more innocents (or at least as far as we know they had prior to this current conflict). Israel isn’t “bad” but it’s government is.
I knew this would bring out the despicable “quick, blame Israel!” crowd.
You must be proud of your prescience. Now ask yourself why?
This is a report from the region about the afteath of an unprovoked raid by Hamas against her neighbor. This is what Hamas chose and intended to happen and it’s nominally the justification for the bombs going off in Gaza right now.
unprovoked
neighbor
lol
Yes unprovoked. The event that was supposed to justify this action (apparently sacrificing a goat somewhere) never happened.
Those savages living in the modern recreation of the Warsaw Ghetto we created for them attacked us! It was completely UnPrOvOkEd!
If this has been an attack launched by West Bank Palestinians you’d have an argument. But this is coming from the Gaza strip. The strip has the 1967 peace borders, no settlements and self rule. In the mid 2000s every Jew was evicted from the strip, every settlement emptied in a model for what peace and a 2 state solution was suppose to look like for the region.
Would you like to look back in time a little or just keep on pretending you k ow what you are talking about.
This did not happen in a vacuum, israel has been stealing more and more land every year, killing children, and killing journalists.
Shit now they’re talking about shrinking gaza again.
Multiple agencies warned Israel something was going to happen, they ignored it and now they get to take even more land.
They didn’t call it the “Shit that happened in the 1940s Flood”.
Wasn’t the attack in internationally recognized Palestinian territory? The fact the attack is considered to be in Israel at all is provocation of some sort. Now, you may argue it wasn’t justified, but it surely was provoked.
No, they crossed the internationally recognized 1967 borders (which are in effect on the Gaza Strip) to commit this attack. Israel (specifically Israeli’s left wing coalition) pulled all of its settlers and settlements out of Gaza in 2004,5 and established the 1967 borders to try to demonstrate that pulling back to the '67 borders would lead to peace and would be worth it to do so to establish a Palestinian state.
“Nominally” is doing the heavy lifting.

I do feel like the media is trying extra hard right now to toe the line.
Great name
Thanks! Also real cute that everyone is so edgy that they downvoted your compliment lol.
After the ground invasion they’ll say they never supported Israel. Just like no one in America voted for Bush in 2004 after the WMD debacle.
I’ll take “we’ve seen this story play out before” for $500 please Alex.
P.S. revel in the downvotes. You gain karma in the afterlife every time a Zionist cries.
