Some of the people of Gaza, civilians, when they saw the doors open, they went to the those colonial settlements and tried to look for some booty to take, and those people ended up burning some of the houses, that some of the families...

"They burned some of the houses and some of the people were killed, but the bulk of civilians who were killed were killed by the Zionists themselves.

"It sounds much more logical that 800-900 soldiers were either killed or taken hostage, and 200 civilians were killed mostly by Israeli fire.
