Death and heartbreak at every turn in kibbutz near Gaza that was ambushed by Hamas 

BE’ERI, Israel — An overwhelming smell of death lingers in the air in Be’eri, a kibbutz near the Gaza border where Hamas militants ambushed the small community Saturday morning, leaving a trail of devastation in their wake and dozens dead.

Days later, body bags remain on the streets. Demolished homes and vehicles with their doors hanging wide open tell a story of not just one community, but an entire country, completely caught off-guard.
