Hamas slaughtered approximately 40 babies, beheading some of them, during its weekend terrorist attack on Israel, i24NEWS reported Tuesday.

Hamas terrorists breached Israel’s border with Gaza Saturday, resulting in the deaths of more than 900 Israelis, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The babies were located just a quarter-mile from Gaza’s border in Kfar Aza, according to i24.

“About 40 babies were taken out on gurneys. … Cribs overturned, strollers left behind, doors left wide open,” i24 correspondent Nicole Zedeck reported on air.

“You can see some of these soldiers right now comforting each other, many of them reserves who jumped into action leaving their own families behind as well, not knowing the sheer horror that they were about to come to,” Zedek said.
