Kibbutz Be’eri in Israel’s south is one big crime scene. A paradise turned into hell.

As drones buzzed overhead and artillery shells thundered in the distance we walked past one burnt home after another. Signs of Hamas’ barbarism were everywhere. In that community alone, more than 100 civilians were slaughtered on October 7 including Australian citizen and grandmother Galit Carbone. A number of other kibbutz members are still being held hostage in what we know are the most inhumane conditions imaginable.
