The evidence observed on site by the military and journalists on site shows that “dozens” of houses were set on fire to evict the residents, according to Maël Benoliel, journalist for i24News, media of the Altice group.

• The victims include women, children and the elderly

Many civilians died in the village. According to the journalist, 200 people were killed in Kfar Aza alone. When contacted by BFMTV, the IDF was unable to provide any information on the number of victims. According to a report released late Monday, Israel regrets a total of at least 900 dead and 2,616 injured.

Civilian victims include women, children, the elderly and even babies. People were “massacred in a typical Daesh style of action,” Tsahal told BFMTV.

“We cut off the heads of children and women,” says Maël Benoliel, who witnessed the massacre.

As a guest on BFMTV, Olivier Rafowicz, reserve colonel and spokesman for the Israeli army, spoke of “unimaginable scenes of horror.” “When we returned to the village of Kfar Aza today, we discovered dozens of bodies, some charred, others decapitated,” he said.

• Babies murdered

According to a message shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the State Department’s official “Israel” account, 40 babies were killed. For its part, the IDF reiterates that “the count is not yet complete,” but confirms the deaths of babies.

Olivier Rafowicz added on our antenna: “A very large number of children and babies were massacred, some were beheaded.”

The army is in the process of evacuating the bodies of civilians identified on site. The perpetrators were probably killed, and soldiers discovered dozens of terrorist bodies on the ground.
