A member of an Israeli recovery team said that at one of the Israeli communities attacked by Hamas terrorists, about 80 percent of an estimated 280 bodies—including children—showed signs of torture.

Yossi Landau, who has been with the Israeli nongovernmental rescue and recovery organization ZAKA for 33 years, described the horror he and his team witnessed at the Be'eri kibbutz, where the atrocities included rapes, mutilations, and beheadings.
