Mountains of rubble and sooty earth: first entry into the epicenters of the disaster - after the terrible massacre The extent of the destruction in Netiv HaAsara and Bari is not yet fully known, but it is known about dozens of murdered people and scenes that are difficult to describe in words • The photos of the horror illustrate the magnitude of the tragedy that occurred in the Eshkol Regional Council, with dozens of houses burned by terrorists - many times with their occupants • Our correspondents with the first documents from the settlements that were destroyed • Documentation Tamir Steinman, Adva Dadon N12 | Published 14:35 11.10.23 | Updated 15:34 11.10.23
As the days go by, the extent of the horror that occurred in the first days of the surprise attack by Hamas terrorists begins to become clear. Among the hard centers were Moshav Netiv HaAsara and Kibbutz Be'eri. There, armed terrorists from head to toe managed to take control of the settlement for a long time and commit atrocities on the residents. Today (Wednesday) our reporters Tamir Steinman and Edva Dadon were allowed to enter the disaster sites with News 12 photographers and provide first images.
When we arrived at Netiv HaAsara, we were surrounded by IDF soldiers who are still deployed in the area for fear of encounters with additional terrorists. As we walked alongside them, we could not believe our eyes. In shock and choked throats, we documented the mountains of ruins that remained from the place that was, until Saturday morning, a pastoral settlement of a strong and cohesive community which is no more.
Hamas terrorists who arrived at the scene went house by house and slaughtered the residents during incessant rocket barrages. The inferno began on Saturday at 6:30, when the first terrorists arrived on the scene using paragliders, armed with weapons. They shot everyone they could, burned houses and protected spaces. Any place where the inhabitants wanted to believe they were protected.
The terrorists managed to occupy the seat for many hours, during which time they tried to cause as much destruction and death as possible. With bravery that is hard to describe, the standby squad fought, almost alone and for hours, against the terrorists who were shooting at everyone already. They burned many houses with their occupants and also set fire to vehicles. In some places smoke is still billowing, as a result of a fire in one of the houses that was extinguished only recently.
Netiv HaAsara is just one of the localities where Hamas terrorists mercilessly slaughtered innocent civilians - along with Bari and Nahal Oz, which suffered many casualties. The IDF soldiers who arrived at the moshav engaged in face-to-face battles with dozens of terrorists who managed to capture the moshav and actually control it for many hours.
When you see the lists of those murdered in Bari, your stomach turns, and when you see the dimensions of the disaster, your eyes refuse to believe. The magical kibbutz that was full of children's laughter, remained silent with sooty soil and much destruction. The sights in the exclusive documentation from Barry are difficult, but they are not the most difficult. It is not possible to show the bodies of the murdered residents and the families who tried to escape as long as their souls are in them.
Yesterday, Brigadier General Givati told about 70 terrorists entrenched in the Gaza village, but according to what can be understood today, hundreds of armed terrorists arrived in Be'eri. At first glance at the pictures of the horror, one could be mistaken and think that the houses were destroyed by rocket fire. But that is not the case. Each house was destroyed by a different act of hatred. Terrorists who burned down houses on their occupants, threw grenades, fired RPGs and sprayed large amounts of munitions.
The photos are shocking and the stories of the residents who were rescued are even more shocking. Some residents tell about their relatives, who simply stood in line and were shot to death. Without a diagnosis and in cold blood. Another resident says that she lost her husband and six-month-old baby son in an instant.
"The terrorists asked my husband to stand up after they shot him in the leg. He couldn't stand up, and then they shot him to death," she painfully recalls. The mother held her baby son on her shoulders, but the terrorists did not miss him either. The baby was murdered by the heinous terrorists and the mother was injured in her shoulder. Now she is being treated in the hospital without knowing what happened to her neighbors.
Netiv HaAsara, Be'eri and Nahal Oz are of course not alone: the terrorists infiltrated and terrorized many settlements in the surrounding area. Helpless residents cried out for help from the security forces from inside the MAMAD, while they hear the terrorists raiding their homes. "We are in the MAMAD and we hear shots from all directions," Micah Biton, a resident of Netiv HaAsara in the midst of the terrorists' takeover, told N12.
Another center that suffered a heavy blow in the surprise attack was the settlement of Be'eri. Like Netiv HaAsara, the settlement, which is 4 kilometers from the Gaza Strip, was left destroyed and burned, with dozens of dead who saw their home destroyed before their eyes.
This is what being disarmed gets people
Land for Peace was a fraud
Wipe out the ragheads
"But what about the baby rats at the Gaza garbage dump? !!!"
A model for what’s going to happen to Gaza.
“A model for what’s going to happen to Gaza.”
Let us most fervently hope it comes to pass.
L
No I do not think they will cold bloodedly murder innocent people especially babies.
Hamas terrorists yes. babies no
They’re going after Hamas.
"Land for Peace" is ALWAYS a fraud. Doesn't matter whether it's moslems, neo-soviets, national socialists, communists, black racists, it's never honest.
These places are less than a mile from the fence. You need a fort if you’re in indian country.
Yep. Murdered by Sarah Brady and her ilk.
4 kilometers===2.4 miles
NEED TO ERADICATE HAMAS-—PERIOD
I kilometer—.62 miles
A 100 kilometer bicycle race -==62 miles.

Yes that is exactly what I said
Going after Hamas Terrorists not babies
If Israel doesn’t knuckle down and hold off because of UN and other’s, they will. Right now the word is not to treat captured wounded Hamas terrorists.
Gazans paraded wounded Israeli hostages in towns in Gaza, and the Arab residents beat them with sticks and spat on them. There are no innocent "civilians" in Gaza, and if the Arab "civilians" are wounded they should not be treated as well. They celebrated the wounding and killing of innocent Israeli men, women and children civilians, by cheering, giving out candy, and calling for more bloodshed. There should be no sympathy given to those Arab animals.
Yep. Just ask PM Chamberlain in 1940.
