As the combined death toll continues to rise three days after Hamas’ attacks on Israel and the taking of hostages, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei lauds the assault, stating that his country “kisses the hands” of those behind it.
According to the Israeli Defence Forces, 1,000 Israelis have been killed in the Hamas assault, and Israel's retaliatory airstrikes have killed 800 people in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza.
At least 1,500 Hamas fighters have also been killed, primarily through air bombardments of Gaza and border security operations, the IDF said, disclosing that the bodies of the militants were found on Israeli territory.
Meanwhile, CNN reported that Be’eri, a kibbutz near Gaza, was one of the first and hardest-hit areas in Israel. More than 100 bodies were found there, most of whom were local residents, it said.
Videos showed militants arriving on motorbikes and committing atrocities, including taking hostages and killing civilians. A search and rescue spokesperson was quoted as saying that some of the bodies were of Israeli security forces.
The kibbutzim, traditionally agrarian communities, have about 125,000 residents across about 250 locations in Israel, according to the Jewish Agency for Israel. The IDF also acknowledged that Be’eri was “very badly hit.”
