Officials Confirm that Hamas Beheaded Israelis
(CBS News) Holly Williams - Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Maj. Libby Weiss told CBS News on Wednesday, "We've found bodies of people who have been butchered. The depravity of it is haunting." Weiss said that the Israeli soldiers who first reached Kfar Aza reported finding "beheaded children of varying ages, ranging from babies to slightly older children," along with adults who had also been dismembered. Yossi Landau, the head of operations for the southern region of Zaka, an Israeli volunteer civilian emergency response organization, told CBS News he saw with his own eyes children and babies who had been beheaded. "I saw a lot more that cannot be described for now, because it's very hard to describe," he said, speaking of parents and children found with their hands bound and clear signs of torture. The IDF's Weiss added that Israel "must make sure Hamas cannot launch massacres and slaughter civilians as they did this past weekend. It's just a reality with which we cannot live anymore."
