While bodies are recovered and identified that add to the number of more than 1,300 deaths in Israel due to the Hamas offensive, which included a ground incursion into Israeli areas next to Gaza, a member of the Israeli Army's medical teams assured that he himself ” found a baby with its head cut off” among the more than 100 people murdered in Kibbutz Beeri, next to the Strip.
Members of his team found more decapitated children, added the source, reserve colonel Golan Vach, head of the National Rescue Unit in the Army's Internal Front Command.
