*Hamas Leaves Trail of Terror in Israel*
As Israeli soldiers regain control of areas near Gaza that came under attack, they are finding evidence seen in videos and photos and confirmed by witness accounts of the massacre of civilians by Hamas gunmen.
They were killed waiting for the bus, dancing at a festival, doing morning chores and hiding as best they could. Searching bullet-riddled houses, streets and lawns, Israeli soldiers are still finding them.
The soldiers, retaking control of the kibbutzim, towns and settlements near the Gaza Strip that came under attack by Palestinian terrorists over the weekend, have recovered body after body after body.
Hamas gunmen, hitting more than 20 sites in southern Israel, killed more than 1,000 people, including women and children, and abducted an estimated 150 more people. Officials from Israel, the United States, Europe and the United Nations have condemned the violence in the starkest terms, with the U.N. secretary general saying, “Nothing can justify these acts of terror and the killing, maiming and abduction of civilians.”
The evidence emerging from Israeli sites near Gaza is being found by the authorities, emergency workers and survivors tentatively returning to their homes. It includes security camera footage and cellphone videos, photographs from residents and professionals, and the accounts of witnesses who survived the initial attacks.
The material shows that Palestinian gunmen attacked Israeli civilians in all the mundane places of a Saturday morning in southern Israel — at an outdoor festival and in their homes, on familiar roads and in the middle of town — places where soldiers and the police were as surprised by the violence as neighbors, families and friends.
The assault on Be’eri began around 6 a.m. on Saturday, with security cameras at the kibbutz gate showing two armed men trying to break through. When a car pulls up on the road, the two men fire at its occupants and then enter the kibbutz.
By 7 a.m., at least eight armed men were inside the kibbutz. About two hours later, gunmen can be seen in a video removing three bodies from the ambushed car. Other video appears to show several Israelis being taken captive, and later apparently dead on the street.
Israeli emergency workers eventually removed the bodies of more than 100 people killed in the kibbutz, said Moti Bukjin, a spokesman for the ZAKA relief organization, which ran the effort. “It was horrible work — there were killed children there,” he said, adding that there were dozens of dead gunmen in the town, as well. “We still haven’t gone through all of the homes.”
Just after dawn on Saturday, hundreds of Palestinian gunmen who broke through the barricades between Gaza and Israel sped through farmland in the border area, reaching a festival that had gone through the night. They opened fire.
“Smoke and flames and gunfire,” said Andrey Peairie, 35, a survivor. “I have a military background, but I never was in a situation like this.”
The gunmen abducted an unknown number of people from the event, about three miles from the Gaza border. One video shows a person — on the ground by a car but moving — being shot by a man with a rifle and then lying still. Another video verified by The New York Times shows Hamas members driving off on a motorcycle with an Israeli woman squeezed between them, screaming as her boyfriend is marched off on foot, his arm wrenched behind his back.
Four days after the attack on Kfar Azza, a village just across some fields from the border with Gaza, Israeli soldiers moved from house to house, checking for traps and pulling out the dead. Journalists with The New York Times who traveled to the village saw bodies on pathways and lawns, and in houses and other locations.
“It’s not a war or a battlefield; it’s a massacre,” said Maj. Gen. Itai Veruv, an Israeli commander on the scene. “It’s something I never saw in my life, something more like a pogrom from our grandparents’ time.”
The attack on Sderot, a city about a mile from Gaza, also began early Saturday morning, with at least two pickups carrying armed men — and a mounted machine gun — into the city. Civilians were shot in their cars or on their feet. They were shot under an overpass and while apparently waiting for the bus. At one bus stop, seven civilians were found dead.
“Everyone died,” a man can be heard saying in one video. Videos filmed by residents in Sderot captured the gunmen firing on civilians, battling with the police in the street and taking over the police station.

*Zelensky Visits NATO as Alliance Considers More Aid to Ukraine*
The surprise appearance by President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine came as much of the West has turned its focus to the war between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza.
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine made a surprise visit to NATO headquarters on Wednesday, as top defense officials representing members of the military alliance gathered to consider how many more weapons — and for how much longer — the West can give Ukraine in its war against Russia.
Mr. Zelensky’s appearance at the meeting was a stark reminder of the 19-month-old conflict on NATO’s doorstep even as much of the West has turned its attention to the war between Israel and Hamas assailants in Gaza. That war broke out this past weekend and, if it drags out, threatens to divert resources from Ukraine.
But that is not expected to happen in the near future, officials and experts said, since Israel and Ukraine are using different kinds of air defenses to protect their respective territories. And two of NATO’s largest members, Britain and Germany, announced large packages of additional military assistance to Ukraine hours before the two days of meetings began on Wednesday.
Nevertheless, Mr. Zelensky has spent the days since the attack on Israel imploring Western allies to continue to provide Ukraine with aid and weapons, comparing the assault by Hamas to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He also accused Russia of seeking to foment chaos and conflict in the Middle East to undermine support for Kyiv.
On Wednesday he again emphasized how valuable it was to have the support of allies.
“I remember the first days of our full-scale war — it began from terroristic attacks,” he told journalists shortly after arriving at NATO headquarters, standing next to the alliance’s secretary-general, Jens Stoltenberg. “It was very important to not be alone.”
“So my recommendation to the leaders is to go to Israel and add their support,” Mr. Zelensky said.
He did not directly address whether the assault on Israel would divert weapons that he is demanding for Ukraine — such as air defenses, long-range missiles and artillery that he said would help his country “survive this next winter.”
The United States alone has given Ukraine billions in military aid, and Germany announced an estimated $1 billion in weapons on Tuesday night, largely in air defense systems, including Patriot missiles.
Britain also pledged about $122 million in new aid, including mine-clearing trucks that Ukraine hopes will help it push through Russian defenses on the front line. Britain also said it would send an additional $86 million in air defense systems under a contract for the MSI-DS Terrahawk Paladin that was previously announced.
NATO officials will hear on Thursday from Israel’s defense minister, Yoav Gallant, in a video briefing at the close of the military alliance’s meetings this week. But Mr. Stoltenberg sought to make clear Wednesday morning that Ukraine remained foremost on NATO’s minds.
“Your fight is our fight. Your security is our security, and your values are our values,” Mr. Stoltenberg said. “And we will stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes.”
*‘The Wrath of God’: Afghans Mourn Unimaginable Loss From Quake*
The deadliest earthquake to strike the country in decades leveled entire hamlets. Many people lost most, if not all, of their immediate family.
Wails echoed across what was left of the village when the ambulance arrived. Inside was the body of a 12-year-old girl, Roqia. She had died in a nearby hospital Tuesday morning, days after a devastating earthquake hit this stretch of northwestern Afghanistan and sent her mud-brick home crashing down on top of her.
The vehicle drove to the top of a nearby hill where mounds of dirt marked around 70 freshly dug graves. A crowd of men gathered and opened its back door, gently pulling out the girl, whose small frame was wrapped in a thick, white blanket.
Seeing her, her uncle, Shir Ahmad, stumbled backward. “Oh God, oh God,” he cried, gasping for breath. A man slipped his arms around his back to steady him as he sank to the ground in sobs.
“I lost four relatives,” the man said. “Don’t cry.”
Since Saturday, when the deadliest earthquakes to strike Afghanistan in decades occurred, hundreds of Afghans in one of the worst-hit districts, Zinda Jan, have been struggling to come to terms with the almost unfathomable destruction.
In a matter of minutes, a handful of entire villages — once clusters of mud-brick homes, their thick, beige walls blending into the endless desert — were transformed into mounds of dust. Nearly everyone in the area lost at least one relative when their homes crumbled. Many have lost most, if not all, of their immediate family.
The district is little more than a stretch of desert punctuated by villages where people live hand-to-mouth along Afghanistan’s western border. Most families survive by growing wheat, corn and figs in modest gardens and shepherding small livestock herds. Many men work as day laborers in neighboring Iran, earning only a few hundred dollars a month.
By Tuesday, the death toll from two 6.3-magnitude quakes had climbed to at least 1,053 people, according to the United Nations, while Taliban officials have said the true figure could be closer to 2,000. The vast majority of those dead belonged to only 11 villages, some of which lost a quarter or more of their populations in the quake. Early Wednesday, another 6.3-magnitude earthquake hit near Herat City, sending people running out of their homes for the second time in five days.
Across the hamlets struck by the earlier disasters, the grief and loss are palpable. The air is tinged with the smell of rotting flesh — whether from victims whose bodies have yet to be recovered or from livestock that were crushed under rubble, no one is quite sure. Rows upon rows of dirt mounds marking mass graves now outline the edges of villages that have been decimated. Sporadic screams and sobs pierce the quiet as waves of anguish overwhelm the few survivors.
In Seya Aab village, moments after the men lowered Roqia’s body into a grave on Tuesday afternoon, a young man whose mother had also been killed collapsed on top of her grave in tears. “Oh God, oh God, please help me,” he yelled.
Farther down the hill, now a newly dug cemetery, a grandfather let out a cry and dropped to his knees, drawing a crowd around him. Minutes later, another man howled in tears and screamed: “They are all of us! They are all of us!”
In Nayeb Rafi, a nearby village, the only building to survive the quake was a concrete school built by an aid group. Every single mud-brick home was destroyed. Residents told a visiting team of journalists from The New York Times that they estimate that of the roughly 2,000 people living there, 750 were killed.
At the edge of the hamlet, a man in his 70s sat on the edge of a pile of mud brick — what was once his home — in a daze. He had wrapped a hefty brown blanket dug from the rubble around his shoulders to protect himself from the chilly morning air. Behind him, black smoke from a small fire another survivor had lit for warmth clouded the sky.
The man, who goes by one name, Zarin, said he had just slaughtered a sheep for his family to eat on Saturday when the earth beneath him began to shake violently, throwing him to the ground. When the convulsions finally ended, he was up to his chest in crumbled mud brick. He could hear a child’s voice crying for help but could barely see anything amid clouds of white dust, he said.
*Israel’s Plan to Destroy Hamas*
The country’s leaders long believed they could coexist with Hamas. The weekend’s attacks have changed that.
For years, Israel’s leaders believed that they could coexist with Hamas. After this weekend’s massacre, that belief is over.
Steven Erlanger, a former Jerusalem bureau chief at The New York Times, explains what Israel’s plan to destroy Hamas will mean for Palestinians and Israelis.
