Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hosts controversial US billionaire Elon Musk on a tour of an Israeli kibbutz ravaged during Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.
The tour of Kfar Aza shows Musk the horrors of the Hamas attack, which saw terrorists storm the community and 20 or so others, butchering and burning entire families and kidnapping scores of civilians to Gaza.
Musk hears briefings from a local council leader and from a representative of the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit about the massacres in the kibbutz.
He is taken to the home of the community’s security chief Ofir Libstein, who was killed in a gunfight with the terrorists.
Musk also hears the story of Israeli-American toddler Avigail Idan, 4, who was kidnapped to Gaza and was released yesterday as part of a hostage deal.
