(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - In one kibbutz home, the commander of an infantry brigade found the body of a 1-year-old girl, shot in the head. The safe room was locked. After many efforts, soldiers opened the door. Inside, they found to their horror eight bodies of children, tied up and shot. There are some kibbutzim where a large proportion of members were murdered. At the outdoor festival near Kibbutz Re'im, the terrorists piled up the bodies of the young victims using a tractor, with a later attempt to set them on fire. At one army base, dozens of defenseless female soldiers from a unit charged with camera surveillance were murdered. What happened in the Gaza border communities was not an expression of a struggle for national liberation, but a terror attack by a Islamic fundamentalist organization, highlighting that it has no intention of holding negotiations with Israel in the future. This will require new thinking among those who hoped that the murderous intentions of Hamas could be curbed. Some consolation can be found in the huge motivation shown by reserve forces, as well as by Israeli civil society. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers showed up immediately.
