They are still finding bodies in the neighbourhoods near Gaza.

Recovery teams on Wednesday pulled a woman's body from the rubble in Kibbutz Be'eri. She was naked, her feet bound with metal wire.

One of the team said the bodies of more than 20 children had been found nearby, tied together and burned.

Even experienced workers are struggling: deaths like this are enough to break the living.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Cats provide the only movement - sliding between bright toys strewn across gardens, the collapsed rooves, the charred gaping skeletons of people's homes.

A neighbour identified Danny's body on the morning after the attack, but the family are still waiting for official confirmation that he is dead.

His half-brother, Lior Peri, was expecting him back in Tel Aviv the day before, but Danny decided to stay on an extra night.

Lior received a text message on Saturday morning, as the attack unfolded, saying: "S**t, big balagan [chaos] in the kibbutz."

With hundreds of thousands of troops now ranged along the border, Israel is eyeing the next stage of this war - a major offensive operation inside Gaza, aimed at destroying Hamas.

The families of Israel's hostages and missing are still frozen in the hours after the attack, left without answers, and caught between two different traumas: their nation's and their own.

The original article contains 738 words, the summary contains 151 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
