Voice 9, War Desk: Victims of Hamas attacks from Kibbutz Beeri in Israel were tragically transported in body bags. The Israeli government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, presented graphic images of deceased children and civilians to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and NATO defense ministers on Thursday.
These distressing visuals were intended to
provoke global outrage against the Gaza militants in response to the attack
that occurred on Saturday. Upon his arrival in Tel Aviv earlier that day,
Blinken informed reporters that he had been shown photographs and videos
depicting a baby riddled with bullets, soldiers beheaded, and young individuals
burned alive in their vehicles or hiding places. He described these images as
an embodiment of extreme depravity, emphasizing their immense impact.
Netanyahu has made a commitment to eradicate
Hamas following their deadly assault on unsuspecting Israeli communities,
resulting in the deaths of over 1,300 individuals. This attack stands as the
deadliest in Israel since its establishment in 1948.
Over the past five days, the Israeli air force
has conducted intense bombing campaigns in Gaza and is currently amassing a
significant number of troops along the border, potentially indicating a
forthcoming ground invasion. According to Gaza authorities, more than 1,400
Palestinians, predominantly civilians, including children, have already lost
their lives, with over 6,000 individuals sustaining injuries.
If a land invasion were to occur in this densely
populated region, the death toll could rise significantly. IsraeliDefencee
Minister Yoav Gallant shared a video with his NATO counterparts at the
organization's headquarters in Brussels. He claimed that the footage depicted
horrifying scenes from the unexpected Hamas attack, including the tying up and
shooting of children. This statement was relayed to fellow ministers via video
link, as documented in a text of his address sent to Reuters.
