They shot dogs, they killed cows, they handcuffed and burned kids and they beheaded babies.
Anyone who tells you that this is about freedom, resistance or liberation is either blindingly uninformed or intentionally excusing the murder of Jews and the destruction of everything that was a part of their life (there's no other reason to slaughter even the animals).
Over 1,200 have been confirmed murdered, over 3,000 wounded, over 200 are believed to have been kidnapped and held hostage in enemy territory.
If you're wondering why do the numbers keep rising, it's because Israel has to identify, confirm and count the dead (not to mention tell the families) while still being in the middle of fighting. Terrorists are still being found within/continue to try and breach Israel's borders by land, by sea (trying to land on Israel's shore with boats) and by air (using paragliders). There are still towns where Israeli citizens are being told to lock themselves in when there is a sign of terrorists being active there. There are towns where the teams identifying the dead have not arrived yet, and the work of counting the dead had not even begun.
This is Israeli singer Shay Lee Atari, she was giving an interview about her husband who saved her and their baby, but has been missing since. In the middle of the interview, she got a phone call telling her that he'd been murdered.
Apparently, at least three Hamas terrorists were only injured, not killed, in the fights. They're being treated in Israeli hospitals (which means the State of Israel is paying for the medical care they're getting). Because of the overload in the hospitals, these murderers are being treated in the same departments as the wounded.
Israeli parents have been told to remove social media apps from their kids' cell phones, because Hamas is releasing more and more footage of the murders, of the kidnapped begging for their lives and of some of the hostage being executed while handcuffed. I'm not going to share some of the images I've seen, but on some social media sites it's impossible for me to avoid them.
The cell phone and credit cards of those who were murdered are confirmed to have been stolen and used by the terrorists.
On a personal note, I want to thank the people who let me know that some of the media I have shared was removed by Tumblr for supposedly violating community guidelines. I knew it didn't (presumably someone looking to de-humanize Jews didn't like that you could see the faces of missing Israelis in my posts, and they abused the option to report content), I contacted Tumblr, everything had been restored, so I would like to just give Tumblr staff credit for the speed with which they acted.
