Police cyber and forensics teams work tirelessly collecting hundreds of thousands of video clips and testimonies across communities near the Gaza border to uncover facts about Hamas' brutal killing of children. Warning: viewer discretion is advised. Ariela Ayalon | published:09.26.24 | 14:38

Israel Police data released on Thursday revealed 27 children between the ages of 0-17 were shot and burned alive on October 7. Commander Dudi Katz, the Israel Police special investigations unit’s Lahav 433’s cyber unit chief, was tasked with analyzing digital forensic evidence.
One of the recordings received by the cyber team investigating one of the kibbutzim near the Gaza border featured a child's voice. The girl was on a call with the police emergency center while being held by a terrorist. She begged the terrorist to let her go, saying she was just a child and had school the next day. Despite the police dispatcher's pleas, the terrorist shot her to death. Her burnt remains were later located.

This is just one of the many heartbreaking stories that police investigators have uncovered. The data, testimonies and hundreds of thousands of videos have been analyzed by Lahav 433, the national unit investigating the events of October 7. "We collected 11,666 videos that provide a comprehensive evidentiary basis gathered from various sources from just one kibbutz, which will enable us to file some of the most severe indictments against the perpetrators of these brutal terror acts," said Superintendent Reut Anoim, head of Lahav 433’ cyber investigation division.
The data and testimonies were also collected from ZAKA Search and Rescue volunteers who operated in the kibbutz. Six days after the deadly assault began, ZAKA personnel returned to ensure no evidence was overlooked, guided by the smell of decay, flies and other signs. In one room, they found the small body of a child and the body of a woman in the stairwell. Both bodies were so badly burned they were nearly unrecognizable. The only thing left of the mother was her bra, and of the child, only ashes remained.

"Each cyber unit and the International Crime Investigations Unit was assigned to gather and analyze evidence based on specific areas. We relied on a web of testimonies collected from CCTV cameras in the affected towns, private homes near the Gaza border, testimonies from hostages, ZAKA volunteers, Hamas terrorists' body cameras and social media posts,” Anoim said. Any evidence that could not be verified was dismissed. "All the materials we used helped complete an evidentiary framework as we worked hard to maintain the highest standards of verification and cross-referencing, compared to the fake materials circulating on social media,” she added, Katz explained the challenge was interpreting the significance of the evidence they located. "As a law enforcement officer, I only work with definitive evidence. When I see a child shot with a severed finger, I can describe and document the scene but cannot definitively state the cause, as the finger may not have been intentionally severed but instead was injured by a fragment from the explosion in the safe room."
However, Katz was unequivocal about one fact: the torture of children by Hamas' Nukhba terrorists. "That children were burned, shot and murdered alongside their parents is a proven fact. Children witnessed their parents being murdered and we found a scene with a pile of bodies from the same family more than once."
Among the other harrowing scenes was a photograph of a baby who was murdered alongside her father who tried to protect his family. She was the youngest victim of October 7. Another case that Katz said he would never forget was the tragic story of the Taasa family from Netiv HaAsara. The father, Gil, threw himself on a grenade that terrorists had tossed into their home to save his children from witnessing the horror. In another video, "We identified a child around six or seven years old whose body was burnt, but his face remained intact. His glazed expression indicated that he had been burned alive,” Katz recounted.

Over 90 members of Kibbutz Be'eri were murdered on October 7. The kibbutz secretary, Gal Cohen, said that the highest number of children murdered was in his community. "What the children here went through is incomprehensible and we’re still burying our dead. This is an open wound, and we haven't digested it yet.” “We’re scarred, but we’re rebuilding and trying to recover. Parents and grandparents who lost their children and grandchildren have said they will never set foot in the kibbutz again because they see the victims everywhere they look,” he added.
Ham ass must be exterminated!!
They deserve everything Israel does to them.
And then they can deal with what God does.
Thank you for posting.
I went to Netiv HaAsara 10 days ago with a 16 year old from that Moshav. He showed me the houses burned to the ground with the elderly burned alive inside. I saw the house where the father threw himself on the grenade. I saw bullet pock marked walls.
He lives in the house closest to the Gaza wall, a mere stone’s throw away. He survived because he was at the Nova Music Festival and successfully ran away.
wow
So if this happened to any other ethnic group especially the protected classes these days it would be a fire storm
Did you film your visit?
I’ve watched most of a video in which a couple went to Israel to learn about Oct. 7. I had read that Gazans accompanined Hamas, brining whatever tools they had, but this was the first time I’d heard that elders, women and children came with the men. The couple said that the Gazans, not Hamas, did most of the decapitations of the babies, the rapes and the looting/burning of the kibbutz.
Bringing children is such a bizarre thing to do, but, knowing that radical Muslims teach their children that Jews aren’t human, etc., it’s not a total surprise. Is it any wonder that God told the Hebrews to kill everyone, even the animals, when He told them which land to take as theirs? Everything was tainted, even those who we would normally consider the innocent.
Oops, meant to include the link to the YT video I referenced.

When children are killed by the IDF it’s because the terrorists are using them as human shields. They are never deliberately targeted and they are NEVER TORTURED. Using innocent people in this manner is most definitely an actual war crime that the UN and International Criminal Court consciously ignores. Madmen and criminals are running these organizations.
I filmed the impromptu Nova Music Festival memorial site. It takes 6 minutes of video to just walk around it. I don’t have an upload service for that.
Killing of children is common in islam. I remember a few years back when moslem raiders in Algeria wiped out a moslem village. Even the babies in arms had their throats cut.
"Submit to Islam or die!". The babies can't respond, and are killed. Muslims are butchers from hell.
