The commander of the 99th Gaza Brigade 99, Colonel Barak Hiram, earlier on Wednesday described the horrors he witnessed in one of the kibbutzim he visited: "During the searches, we found people tied up and shot, wounded children, babies in strollers. There was no mercy. Bringing 108 terrorists to this kibbutz is not an occupation mission, it's a slaughter mission. It's not just entering to conquer a place. We had to clear more than 100 civilian bodies from the kibbutz at the end of the fighting."
In a briefing to the media held by IDF spokesperson, Brigadier-General Daniel Hagari, earlier on Wednesday said that at least 1,000 terrorist bodies have been found throughout Gaza "This indicates the magnitude of the attack. They had equipment and plans for occupation, not just looting but occupation," he said.
