Hamas terrorists murdered approximately 40 babies as part of their Oct. 7 attack on Kibbutz Kfar Aza, Israel Defense Forces soldiers who retook the community told i24News on Tuesday.

“Talking to some of the soldiers here, they say what they witnessed as they’ve been walking through these communities is bodies of babies with their heads cut off and families gunned down in their beds,” said the report, which was shared by the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the Israeli Foreign Ministry.

On Saturday morning, Hamas terrorists infiltrated several Israeli communities, killing at least 900 people and taking at least 100 hostages back to Gaza. At least 2,700 people were wounded in shootouts and rocket attacks, and the death toll continues to climb.

According to IDF estimates cited by i24News, Kibbutz Kfar Aza was taken over by approximately 70 armed terrorists.

“It’s not a decisive shift to a new phase of the war,” Jason Brodsky, policy director at United Against Nuclear Iran, told JNS. “Rather it is a reminder that the U.S. has the will to police the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian retaliation was likely factored into U.S. planning.”
“I explained why I believe the UK Government’s intended sanctions will be counter-productive,” Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis said.
“Prior to the strikes, steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance,” the army said.
Jerusalem denounced the Turkish leader over antisemitic blood libels while slamming Ankara for backing Hamas terrorists and invading neighboring lands.
