22. Sure it did. October 7, 2023. They killed, raped, tortured

Sunday

And kidnapped civilians. They killed 1200 in cold blood. Kidnapped 240. Videotapes of the atrocities exist if you look. They found children in an oven.

Are you shocked that those they attacked seem to have lost patience and humanity? Was this attack on civilian a war crime?
