Shock Video: Hamas Takes Hostages, Set Homes on Fire with People Inside

Footage from Hamas’ initial attack on the Israeli kibbutz of Kfar Aza last week shows the Palestinian jihadist group razing homes to the ground and capturing hostages.

From CNN:

In Kfar Aza, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was going house to house, collecting the dead in body bags and loading them onto a truck. The IDF told CNN that women, children, toddlers and elderly were “brutally butchered in an ISIS way of action.”

Hamas has denied that its militants beheaded children or attacked women. The militant group’s spokesman and senior official Izzat al-Risheq on Wednesday described the accusation as “fabricated and baseless allegations.”

Kfar Aza is one of the several kibbutzim, small farming enclaves, that bore the brunt of Hamas’ ground assault on Saturday. A number of kibbutzim and towns were targeted, including Kfar Aza, Be’eri, Ofakim, Sderot, Yad Mordechai, Yated, Kissufim and Urim. Revelers at a music festival held in the desert outside of Be’eri were also gunned down and taken hostage.

However, allegations that Hamas had beheaded 40 babies, which went viral on social media, was later walked back by CNN.

Israel has since launched major airstrikes on Gaza throughout the week and on Saturday warned over a million Palestinians to evacuate northern Gaza for safe corridors ahead of the “next stages” of its military response.
