On 7 October 2023, around 70 Hamas militants attacked Kfar Aza, a kibbutz about 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) from the border with the Gaza Strip, massacring residents and abducting several hostages.

Total casualties were not yet known as of 10 October; the kibbutz had had 400 residents prior to the attack, and it took two days for the Israel Defense Forces to wrest back full control of the community.

Despite contradictory statements by the Israeli military regarding the “decapitation of 40 babies,” no independent confirmation exists.

Massacre

About 70 Hamas gunmen broke through a wall separating the kibbutz from the Gaza Strip on the morning of 7 October 2023. After entering the kibbutz, which was a mere 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) from Gaza, the militants proceeded to massacre residents of the community. The Islamist militants began their attack on the community by targeting the west side of the community—an area in the kibbutz close to Gaza where families with young children lived.

Members of the kibbutz with military training, who formed a volunteer armed guard, fought against invading militants in an attempt to defend the community. All members of the kibbutz's volunteer armed guard were killed, and militants broadened the attack to all four directions. Invading militants burned houses and killed civilian residents. Corpses of those who had lived in the community were found with their hands tied.

In addition, the militants took hostages from the kibbutz; the Associated Press visually confirmed four hostages that were abducted on 7 October. Israeli Major General Itai Veruv described the massacre as a terror attack.

Prior to the massacre, the community had 400 residents. It took the Israel Defense Forces two-and-a-half days to regain full control of the community after the initial attack. The paratroopers of Unit 71 led the assault to retake the community.

Casualties

According to BBC News, it appears that most of the victims of the massacre died in the opening hours of the attack. As of 10 October 2023, soldiers were still going through the community to recover bodies. The total number of civilians killed is not yet publicly known, but the dead are alleged to include at least 40 children.

Controversies

One member of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) who had responded to the site said in an interview with I24NEWS that some corpses of the killed 40 children had been discovered beheaded, Israeli soldiers in the town stated that several civilians had been beheaded. CBS News later interviewed Yossi Landau, regional head of the first responder organisation ZAKA, who corroborated that both babies and minors had been beheaded alongside corpses of dismembered adults.

The IDF stated to Insider that they would not investigate the allegation further, citing that it would be "disrespectful for the dead" to do so. On October 12 it was reported by CNN that the claims of beheading could not be confirmed which contradicted earlier reports.

Despite contradictory statements by the Israeli military regarding the “decapitation of 40 babies,” no independent confirmation exists.

Documentation

Journalists were granted access to the site on 10 October. Hamas has also released video footage of the attack.
