During the interview, Ms Atary then appears to speak to her mother, who has dropped to the floor in the hallway with her head in her hands after receiving a sickening update in a phone call from the Israel Defence Forces. How Hamas carried out attack that shocked the world: Gunmen stormed kibbutz at dawn, shot and burned families alive as they begged for their lives Advertisement She then starts to wail uncontrollably as relatives unite in grief and gather around her. A narrator on the video reveals that Ms Atary has just received the dreaded news that her husband has been killed.
She was taken in by a family who let her hide in their saferoom, where they waited until they were rescued. 'I really don't know where our state was,' she said. 'They abandoned us. They were on Twitter. That's where they were.' The first wave of 70 terrorists had roared towards the quiet kibbutz on motorbikes after tearing through the border wire a mile away, while others paraglided over Israel's unsuspecting defenses from Gaza.
The terrorists were met by a frantic kibbutz guard, a small group of residents with military experience, who were patrolling the perimeter when they saw the swarm of black figures racing towards them. Among those parents were Itay and Hadar Berichevsky, both 30, who heard the gunmen trying to smash down their front door.
The terrified parents frantically bundled their two babies into a hidden shelter moments before Hamas terrorists shot the couple dead 'Many preferred to die in the fires, than be killed by the terrorists,' Omar Barak, a 24-year-old Israeli army officer, told the Times of Israel. Hamas terrorists beheaded babies and gunned down entire families in their homes in a small kibbutz in Israel, Israeli soldiers have claimed
But the carnage didn't end there. The terrorists fought hard to keep control of the kibbutz, killing civilians and firing bullets at the soldiers. A dead civilian lies under a blanket outside a house in the kibbutz near the border with Gaza on Tuesday The Israeli soldiers were seen comforting each other after witnessing such horrors, including the bodies of entire families who were gunned down in their beds.
'I've served as a combat soldier and officer for 39 years,' Veruv continued. 'I've never seen anything that comes close to this. It's not even something that our parents knew. This is something out of the world of our grandfathers back in Europe, from the pogroms and the Holocaust. Major David Ben Zion, 37, a reservist called up to try to rescue any survivors, told The Independent: 'We saw dead babies, girls. We succeeded in saving some of them but we found most dead in their houses. They came with just one mission – to kill more and more of our people.'
An Israeli army self-propelled howitzer fires rounds near the border with Gaza in southern Israel on October 11 In one part of the kibbutz, where residents had kept the lawns tidy outside their modest homes, lay the ruins of a motorised glider used by the militants to fly over the border. Next to it lay a crumpled Hamas flag in the dirt.
