A senior medical official with Zaka, Israel’s volunteer civilian emergency service organization, has confirmed that he personally saw Israeli children and adults beheaded by Hamas terrorists in Kibbutz Kfar Aza.

“I saw a lot more that cannot be described for now, because it’s very hard to describe,” Yossi Landau, the head of operations for the southern region of Zaka, told CBS News. He then referred to parents and children found with their hands bound and clear signs of torture.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Maj. Libby Weiss. further told CBS News that one of the first Israeli soldiers who reached Kfar Aza in southern Israel reported finding “beheaded children of varying ages, ranging from babies to slightly older children,” along with adults who had also been dismembered.

The confirmation came after reports from international media organizations, including CNN and the New York Times, on Tuesday describing horrific scenes at the kibbutz. Charred homes stood in the background as smoke wafted in the air and the bodies of dead civilians and terrorists still littered the ground.

Since then conspiracy theories have circulated across social media that the massacre was staged propaganda by Israel.

“The playbook, They make up a lie; there is no evidence for it,” tweeted Mohammed El-Kurd, a pro-Palestinian activist who has spoken at Harvard and Princeton universities.”
