The bodies of more than 100 people were discovered by volunteers in a single, small Israeli village Monday — including those of children — believed to have been killed by Hamas militants caught on camera.

The remains were discovered in Be'eri, or Bari, a kibbutz in southern Israel close to Gaza. It's one of the villages Hamas militants invaded on Saturday as they began their attack on the country.

"Today the volunteers entered Kibbutz Bari and it is impossible to explain in words the terrible sights - some were adults, some were children. These are horrors that cannot be grasped in the mind or soul," a spokesperson for Zaka search and rescue told IDF radio.

The death toll means around ten percent of Be'eri's population was wiped out.

Video shared Monday showed members of Hamas moving into the settlement at just after 7:10 a.m.

The village was one of a number of targets for Hamas as violence unfolded. Hamas terrorists descended upon a music festival, killing, raping or taking hostage revelers, while drivers on a highway close to the Gaza border were wrestled from their cars by waiting militants.

So far, over 1,350 people have died in the conflict, which Israel officially declared a war Sunday. The country's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that Israel "will win" in a social media post on Monday.
