PM Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to the public and said: "We saw the beasts, the barbarians with whom we are fighting. We saw children who were shot in the head, men and women who were burned alive."
"We saw young women who were raped and butchered, soldiers whose heads were cut off" he added.
"In one place", Netanyahu said, "they put people in and brought spare wheels around so that there would be flammable material and they were burned them alive."
