Israeli rescue worker describes ‘terrible’ scenes while recovering bodies

Warning this piece includes distressing and graphic descriptions

In the last few moments, Sky News has been speaking to the commander of a rescue service in Israel. 

Yossi Landau has been helping recover bodies across the country following the attack by Hamas. 

He told us about one mission inside a house, where he said he found a pregnant woman shot in the back of the head and her stomach “ripped open”. 

“When I entered a house and I saw a female on the floor with blood around her and I saw a gunshot wound to the back of the head,” he said, holding back tears. 

“When we turned her over to put her in a body bag, she was a pregnant woman and her stomach was ripped open and her unborn infant stabbed.” 

He was also one of the rescue workers involved in the recovery of at least 260 bodies from the Supernova music festival. 

Hamas militants stormed the event on Saturday, gunning people down and taking hostages as they went.

Mr Landau described approaching the site and seeing “bodies all over lying on the street” and hearing “gunfire”. 

“I had to use my gun in order to fight back,” he said. 

He returned the next day to continue working at the site and said it looked like a “massacre field”. 

“It was terrible. You know, 70% of the people were shot in the back,” he said. 

“Cars in the road were just burnt with alive people inside.”
