HAMAS terrorists slaughtered at least 40 babies and kids in one town in a horror rampage – with some found beheaded, Israel has claimed.

Israeli soldiers discovered scenes of unimaginable horror in Kfar Aza – a village close to the Gaza border that was held for two days by the Hamas militants.

The Israeli army have taken back control of the besieged village and are now working to recover the dead.

Men, women, children and baby were slaughtered in their beds early on Saturday morning after the Hamas terrorists stormed across the border.

And troops found the bodies of some 40 babies and children – some with their heads chopped off.

Reporters who were allowed into the village on Tuesday described a horrifying “smell of death”.
