Rumors spread among pro-Israeli media that the Qassam Brigades “beheaded many Israeli babies”. However, there has been little documentation of these claims.
Following the launch of the Al Aqsa Flood operation on Saturday, October 7, rumors spread among pro-Israeli media that the Qassam Brigades – the armed wing of the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas – “beheaded many Israeli babies”.
However, there has been little documentation of these claims.
The story was initially reported by Israeli journalist Nicole Zedeck, an I24 TV correspondent who was attached to a unit of the Israeli Army that had been dispatched to the “Kfar Aza” kibbutz.
Israeli propaganda is not clever. It simply relies on the deliberate silencing of any voices that do not support the Israeli narrative. #gaza #palestine #GazaFightsForFreedom #GazaUnderaAttack pic.twitter.com/BVp3c1mBuZ

During her coverage, Zedeck claimed that an Israeli commander had told her that 40 babies had been found in the kibbutz, and that some of them had been “beheaded.”
A few hours later, Zedeck posted the news on X – formerly Twitter – with this comment:
“(Israeli) soldiers told me they believe 40 babies/children were killed.”
“The exact death toll is still unknown as the military continues to go house to house and find more Israeli casualties,” Zedeck added.

The latest confirmation that such a story might have not happened at all is a report by the Turkish Anadolu News Agency, which wrote on Tuesday that “the Israeli army has no information confirming (these) allegations”.
This is what Anadolu wrote:
“When Anadolu contacted the Israeli army spokesperson unit over the phone and asked about the allegations, she said ‘We have seen the news, but we do not have any details or confirmation about that’.”

If it’s true would you be willing to condemn it or would say: “For all they did in the past, they deserve it.. We’ve suffered…”.
You see where the problem is?
But the Hamas terrorists have kidnapped and murdered women and children in the full knowledge of how Israel usually responds. You bring this on yourselves. You have unleashed hell on the innocents of Gaza.
So you cannot confirm that Hamas beheaded Israeli children, will you confirm that it intentionally killed them?
