"The Horror": Israeli Collecting Corpses near Gaza

(AFP) Yossi Landau, 55, has spent decades collecting corpses in Israel, but he almost reached his breaking point recovering the remains of people killed by Hamas in the country's deadliest assault. He has 33 years of experience volunteering for Zaka, an organization which recovers the bodies of people who suffered unnatural deaths. "A piece of road that should've taken 15 minutes, it took us 11 hours because we went and picked up everyone, put them in a bag," he said. After he reached Kibbutz Beeri, "I felt that I'm falling apart, not only me, my whole crew," he recalled, after entering the first home and finding a dead woman. "Her stomach was ripped open, a baby was there, still connected with the cord, and stabbed." He said he saw multiple civilians, including around 20 children, who had their hands tied behind their backs before being shot and torched. "We saw some victims positioned that they were sexually abused." More than 100 people were killed in the kibbutz.
