| by Joshua Arnold |
| Enough time has elapsed since Hamas's coordinated strike against Israeli civilians to uncover some of the horrific deeds they perpetrated.

| 'What Starts in Israel Doesn't End with Israel' |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| "We're trying to pull ourselves together," a survivor said, looking around at the rubble, the charred and bullet-sprayed houses. What was once a buzzing kibbutz is now makeshift military base, where Israeli soldiers struggle to wade through the horrors left behind by Saturday's attack. The echoes of the massacre are all around them, in black body bags of all sizes, bloodstained walls, and the stunned look of the left behind. "We're all like zombies here," one young woman said. |
