Images and videos capturing the aftermath of the brutal attacks by Hamas over the weekend serve as chilling reminders of the massacre that unfolded in Israel. According to Tomer Peretz, a volunteer with ZAKA, these visuals transcend the scope of a “regular war” and depict unimaginable horror.
Peretz, an American artist who was visiting Israel with his two sons, witnessed the devastation caused by hundreds of Hamas terrorists who infiltrated Israel and launched rockets at civilian villages. In response to these attacks, the Israeli government declared war on Hamas. Tragically, the attacks have resulted in the deaths of at least 1,200 Israeli civilians and soldiers.
Volunteering with ZAKA, a special unit focused on search and rescue operations and the clearance of dead bodies, Peretz was determined to assist in any way he could. Joined by volunteers and ZAKA workers, he ventured into the areas affected by the Hamas attacks.
After gathering resources and equipment left behind at the Tribe of Nova Trance music festival, where 260 Israelis lost their lives, the ZAKA team proceeded to Kibbutz Be’eri, a village near Gaza. In just one day, the team of around 50 members recovered over 100 bodies from this small farming community. Peretz described the scenes as surreal and horrifying. In a video on his Instagram, he expressed his shock at seeing body parts scattered everywhere, including those of babies and children. He couldn’t comprehend the inhumanity of such acts.
Given the extent of damage to the victims’ faces caused by the brutality, ZAKA’s protocol was to label the body bags with house numbers as a means of identification. Peretz explained that the bodies had been cut and burned, while some victims had been shot, tortured, and even shot in the eyes. He emphasized that this was not a typical war, but rather a genocide with a deliberate focus on torturing the victims.
Despite the emotional toll it takes, Peretz believes it is crucial for the world to witness the atrocities he has seen. He ventured into houses that others warned him against entering due to the horrors inside. He stressed the importance of continuing to help, no matter how difficult it may be.
The response from the humanitarian community has been overwhelmingly supportive, with donations and offers of assistance pouring in. Peretz expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love and generosity. He mentioned receiving countless messages from people wanting to help in any way they can.
Peretz’s determination to share what he has witnessed is evident in his posts on Instagram. He hopes to raise awareness and garner prayers for Israel in the face of this ongoing tragedy.
