Israeli journalist Nicole Zedek clarified the wording about the victims in Kibbutz Kfar Aza in southern Israel. Let me remind you that earlier in a report for the i24NEWS channel, she reported that after the attack, the bodies of 200 murdered Israelis were found in the kibbutz, including about 40 children. The report also mentioned that some children had their heads “cut off.”
A few hours later, it became clear that Zedek, as follows from her messages on one of the social networks, may not have seen the bodies of the victims in person. Everything that she later broadcast in the report was “told to her by the soldiers.”
«Soldiers told me they believe 40 babies/children were killed. The exact death toll is still unknown as the military continues to go house to house and find more Israeli casualties», — написала Зедек.
(“The soldiers told me they believed 40 babies/children were killed. The exact death toll is still unknown as the military continues to go door-to-door and find more Israeli victims.”)
Later, a message appeared on the corporate account of the i24NEWS channel on social networks, which clarifies the source of the information voiced by Zedek.
«They chopped heads of children and women», says David Ben Zion, Deputy Commandee of Unit 71».
(“They cut off the heads of women and children,” said David Ben Zion, second-in-command of Unit 71)
Let us remind you that the war in Israel began with a Hamas rocket attack at 06:30 am on Saturday, October 7. Simultaneously with the shelling, several hundred Hamas fighters entered Israeli territory by land, by water and by parachute.
On the evening of October 10, it became known that the number of Russian citizens killed during the war between Israel and Hamas had increased to four. Six more are considered missing.
