The death toll means around ten percent of the kibbutz's population was wiped out

The bodies of more than 100 people were discovered by volunteers in a single, small Israeli village Monday — including those of children — believed to have been killed by Hamas militants caught on camera.

The remains were discovered in Be'eri, or Bari, a kibbutz in southern Israel close to Gaza. It's one of the villages Hamas militants invaded on Saturday as they began their attack on the country.

"Today the volunteers entered Kibbutz Bari and it is impossible to explain in words the terrible sights - some were adults, some were children. These are horrors that cannot be grasped in the mind or soul," a spokesperson for Zaka search and rescue told IDF radio.

Hamas thought this operation would change everything.

They were right, but not in the way they expected. All they've done is turn soft sympathisers like myself away from their cause. They deserve everything they get and it's not going to be pretty. The Palestinian who will be killed during crossfire are on Hamas hands this time and the rest of the world will see it that way. absolute own goal, so they could... massacre a bunch of civilians. Hamas showing military genius of the likes of Russia

Israel at least shows an attempt to target military and government buildings, where as Hamas always aims for civilians. And they use their own people as human shields. It's gotten harder and harder to sympathize, and keep seeing their point of view.

Israel routinely bombs news buildings, wtf are you talking about?

Far be it for me to defend the IDF, but Hamas does go out of its way to create civilian death delimeas for Israel, such as using news buildings and hospitals for critical operations centers. It's a win/win, either Israel won't destroy that Hamas infrastructure, or they literally blow up journalists and hospitals.

I'm not even saying this to cast judgement one way, or another, it's just an objective statement of fact and these tactics are incredibly effective for the type of conflict they're engaged in.
