And 20 year old Argentinian young man was shot in Israel while fulfilling his role as combat medic and recounted his experience in the Kfar Aza kibbutzwhere on Saturday Hamas murdered 40 babies: “I remember a specific house, with an entire family that did not manage to get out in time, it was massacred,” he detailed.

He arrived in Kfar Aza on Saturday at noon and was wounded that same day. “In the morning we began to receive videos of the terrorists massacring Israelis, I was shocked, I couldn’t believe what I saw.. At noon I began to reach the south and that shock grew a lot. On the highways that used to be full and were now empty, there were burned out cars, with bullets in the windows, bodies lying in the streets, family homes destroyed, with blood”.

“The first kibbutz I arrived, was to enter family houses and see them closed tightly, with blinds lowered, or houses of those who were not lucky enough to run to safety in time and saw them destroyed, with blood on the floor. I remember a specific house, with an entire family that didn’t make it out in time, it was massacred. They were images that I don’t want to share because they are not worthy, but it is important to know what happened there,” said the young man.

In interview with TN, the Argentine living in Israel for two years assured that he hopes “that this ends tomorrow, but I have a role to play. The mission is to defend my country, it is one of my two homes, It is one of my two homelands, my role is to stand before every enemy that wants to eliminate us”. “Israel, since its creation, was always on constant alert”he added.

Regarding his wound, he reported that he was shot “in the back of the leg and that bullet came out of my back. I’m still in Israel and I’m not going to leave, it’s about giving them the win”. He expects a recovery of maximum two weeks and admitted that the last “They were not easy days, I was taking care of the wound, that’s why I lost a little sleep and hunger. At the same time, I received a lot of support from family and friends, that helps a lot.”

When asked about his role in Israel, the young man whose family remains in Argentina said: “I am on active duty in the Army and I am also a combat medic.. In these times of war the task is to be with the team in the field and, if someone is injured, which is what happened to me too, we must do the first treatment in the field, treat any wounds you see and prepare for evacuation. In this case, I had to treat and evacuate.”

However, the young man acknowledged that “he never thought he was going to be fighting” and that “He never imagined this situation, not even when he was in military training.. I lost friends, colleagues too.” The journalist questioned the young man about Hamas’s motivation, to which she responded that it is hate: “Hamas’ mission is to completely eliminate Israel from the map, when they entered the country they not only killed Jews, but also Muslims and Christians, the murdered was indiscriminate. So hate is not against Jews, it is against Israel”.

Hamas murdered more than 40 babies in a kibbutz in southern Israel

In Kibbutz Kfar Aza, Hamas massacred more than one hundred Israeli civilians

The collective farm was attacked on Saturday by militants of the Palestinian movement, infiltrated from the Gaza Strip, just two kilometers away. The attackers “set fire to the houses, to force their occupants to leave” and then machine-gunned them, says Omer Barak, a 24-year-old Israeli officer. “But many preferred to die burned, or poisoned by smoke, rather than die at the hands of terrorists“, he says. “We found many bodies inside the houses.”

The officer, who fought with his companions for two days to liberate Kfar Aza, said he felt “scared” with what he found in the kibbutz. “I have never seen anything worse. I broke down when I saw the bodies of two murdered children”. “When we removed the bodies of civilians, of children, I thought of General Eisenhower, when he saw the death camps in Europe,” retired general Itai Veruv told the press.

The fate of the Hamas hostages: buried alive, hidden, deported or executed?

In Kfar Aza, a cooperative with finely mowed grass between the houses, the smell of dead It is omnipresent. The site is strewn with the remains of assailants, recognizable by their black bulletproof vests, some swollen by the effect of putrefaction. The last bodies of the inhabitants were being removed this Tuesday.

According to General Veruv, “70 armed and trained terrorists” attacked Kfar Aza on Saturday around six thirty in the morning, with the intention of causing “a massacre”. Due to the short distance from Gaza, the attackers reached the kibbutz quickly, which Israeli forces did not manage to completely liberate until early Tuesday morning. Several Israeli soldiers consulted by AFP They speak of more than 100 civilian deaths, and even 150 in this agricultural cooperative.

“We were not prepared” and “until now I can’t believe what I see. These are usually images of Ukraine or the things that the Islamic State does,” observed an Israeli reservist. Hamas “attacked civilian homes. We were not prepared,” said General Veruv. “They will pay for this”, he assured. The Israeli army bombed hundreds of targets in this Palestinian territory from the air, leaving more than 750 dead, according to local authorities.
