Elon Musk toured the site of Hamas' October 7 terror attacks on Israel, after being accused of antisemitism

• Elon Musk began his visit to Israel on Monday by touring Kibbutz Kfar Aza with PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
• Kfar Aza was targeted by Hamas on October 7, with over 100 civilians killed there.

Elon Musk visited an area of Israel that was targeted by Hamas during its terrorist attacks last month, weeks after the billionaire businessman was accused of antisemitism.

Musk was led around Kibbutz Kfar Aza on Monday morning by Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, while wearing protective clothing, a video shared by the Israeli Prime Minister's Office shows.

Hamas militants infiltrated the village, which is about three miles east of Gaza, on October 7, killing more than 100 civilians. This was part of a series of attacks that killed about 1,200 people in total.

The attacks led to retaliatory strikes from Israel that have killed more than 14,500 people in Gaza, according to Palestinian authorities.

The video supplied by Netanyahu's office shows Musk surveying the devastation in Kfar Aza, including numerous burned-out houses, while receiving explanations from an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson and another official.

Musk, Netanyahu, and the officials visited the home of Ofir Libstein, who was formerly the head of the regional council, Netanyahu's office said in a press release.

Libstein was killed while fighting against Hamas terrorists in the kibbutz, according to The Times of Israel.

Musk and Netanyahu also went to the site of the abduction of Avigail Idan, 4, whose parents were killed in front of her on October 7. Idan was taken hostage but was released on Sunday.

Musk previously met with Netanyahu in California in September, when the pair discussed the presence of antisemitism on X, Musk's social media platform that was formerly known as Twitter.

The billionaire is also set to meet with Israel's President Isaac Herzog, with the president's office telling Business Insider that Musk and Herzog will discuss antisemitism on X.

A post by Musk on X earlier this month, in which he referred to an antisemitic post as "the actual truth," drew widespread backlash. The White House denounced it as an "abhorrent promotion of antisemitic and racist hate."

"In their meeting, the President will emphasize the need to act to combat rising antisemitism online," Herzog's office said.

Musk angered Israeli officials last month when he said he planned to offer Starlink internet access to Palestinians in Gaza.

Musk later spoke to Netanyhahu's office and the head of Shin Bet, Ronen Bar, and made it clear to them that he's "not in a hurry" to activate the satellite communication in Gaza, according to N12.

After his visit to Kfar Aza on Monday, Musk posted on X: "Actions speak louder than words."
