Kibbutz terror: Fox News reporter Trey Yingst goes inside ‘house of horrors’ covered in blood stains and riddled with bullet holes at kibbutz where more than 100 Israelis were slaughtered by Hamas terrorists

The horrors inflicted on Israelis living at a kibbutz near the border with Gaza were laid bare on Wednesday, as the world’s media was shown around the bullet-ridden and blood-stained settlement where more than 100 people were murdered.

The Israeli Defense Force took reporters including a Fox News crew to Be’eri, just three miles from the Gaza border, on Tuesday.

The kibbutz was known as an artistic and farming community of 1,200 people, but on Saturday it was overrun by Hamas terrorists who attacked with grenades, guns and knives.

IDF soldiers battled for eight hours to push Hamas out of the camp, going door-to-door to kill the terrorists inside the Israeli homes, and it was not liberated until Sunday – the last settlement to be freed from Hamas.

The site was not declared safe for outsiders until Tuesday: all the bodies of Israeli victims had been removed, but the burnt and mangled corpses of Hamas fighters were still lying in heaps on the outskirts of the kibbutz.

The smell was stomach-turning, reporters said, and Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst took viewers inside one of the bullet-scarred and blood-coated homes.

‘You can see the floors are stained with blood,’ he said.

‘It was Saturday morning, around 7am, when militants stormed this village. You can see the weapons they brought with them, extra ammunition, bullet holes in the side of the house and knives on the floor.’

Yingst said the community was ‘littered with bodies’.

‘It is completely destroyed. It looks like some of the buildings were hit with RPGs, explosives.’

He said he came across ‘beds covered in blood’, where residents had been murdered in their beds.

The IDF said some of the victims were beheaded.

Yingst, 30, said it was ‘hell on earth’, describing the scene as the most horrifying he had witnessed in his career reporting around the world. Yingst joined Fox five years ago.

‘We saw about eight bodies in body bags of the local residents who were here,’ he said.

‘Some may be militants. They still have to work to identify the bodies. Some are hard to identify.

‘I want to just tell you what the commanding officer told me when we got here. He saw many of the families that were slaughtered in their beds, and in their bomb shelters after Hamas militants broke through the door. He told us that there were people who were decapitated here, people with their hands tied behind their backs and shot – executed.

‘And you saw from inside that house: it is the most horrific thing I have ever seen.

‘It is a community where there are breakfast plates out with food still on them, on dining room tables.

‘There are refrigerators like you would see anywhere in the world with pictures of little kids playing sports. There are bicycles and still ceiling fans going inside the house and there are beds soaked with blood. The floor of that kitchen, as you saw, and there are weapons laying everywhere from those militants. You can see some of their vehicles just outside.

‘It is a house of horror behind me and the entire neighborhood looks like this.’
