The US administration has revised its position regarding President Joe Biden’s declarations that he had ‘seen’ alleged images of the beheadings of 40 Israeli children perpetrated by Palestinian Hamas militants. What emerged was that no one had personally viewed these images but had relied on Israeli government statements and media reports.
In a speech to Jewish leaders, Biden expressed his shock at these images of violence against Israeli children: “I never thought I would see verified photographs of terrorists beheading children.”, Biden said in a meeting with Jewish leaders at the White House. After the US president’s message, the White House denied his words and said that US officials, including Biden, had not seen such images.
The president’s claims were based on information provided by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s spokesman and the Israeli media. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have not officially confirmed these allegations, but they indicated that they might be truthful. Furthermore, there have been widespread allegations of sexual violence committed by Palestinian fighters against Israeli women, but these allegations have not yet been verified. The situation in the conflict between Israel and Hamas is complex and controversial, with conflicting and unconfirmed information circulating regarding these serious events[1][4].
The source of the news: an Israeli officer, but the army denies it.
“What you see in the photo is the source of the news, a certain David Ben Zion, Deputy Commander of Unit 71 of the Israeli Army and leader of the Sharom Regional Council. This regional council presides over 35 illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank (Palestine). The Israeli army has reported that it is not aware of what Ben Zion reported.” (Ugo Fuoco)
The Intercept: The Israel Defense Forces could not confirm the horrific claim that Hamas beheaded children during an attack over the weekend, an army spokesperson told The Intercept on Tuesday. The statement went viral, becoming a front-page feature of a massacre that left more than 1,000 Israelis dead.
“Women, children, infants and the elderly have been brutally massacred according to the way of ISIS and we are [sic] aware of the atrocious acts of which Hamas is capable,” the spokesperson wrote in response to questions from The Intercept about the viral epidemic. relationships. “We can’t officially confirm it, but you can assume it happened and believe what was reported,” he reiterated in a subsequent phone call.
Despite the IDF’s failure to confirm the report, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesman Tal Heinrich repeated it on Wednesday – a window into how unverified reports become part of the historical record (…).
But that’s not all, the Israeli journalist Nicole Zadak herself admitted that she had invented the news of the 40 children beheaded by Hamas militiamen in the Kfar Aza kibbutz, or that she had been deceived by an IDF reservist.
Update: Jerusalem Post confirms with photo video
“…Two more photographs released by Israel show the blackened and charred bodies of two children who were murdered by Hamas gunmen. Their bodies are so disfigured that it is impossible to understand where their arms and legs would have been. MailOnline chose to publish heavily blurred versions of these images to show the horrors that Hamas terrorists unleashed on hundreds of Israelis after storming across the border from Gaza on Saturday. The result is that apparently verified photographs of other children beheaded by ruthless terrorists in the Kfar Aza kibbutz, just a mile from the border, have been “confirmed” by Jerusalem Post journalists.
The Kfar Aza kibbutz was one of the first settlements to be targeted by Hamas. It was here that terrorists, brandishing assault rifles and grenades, mercilessly killed screaming families as they begged for their lives before setting fire to their homes. A rescue team that visited the kibbutz, where the smell of decomposing bodies still lingers in the air, reported seeing a pregnant woman lying on the floor of the first house they entered. When they turned her over, they saw that her unborn child had been cut from her womb. “We saw a pregnant woman lying on the floor, then we turned her over and saw that her stomach was open, wide open,” Yossi Landau, an aid worker at the NGO Zaka, told i24News. ‘The unborn baby, still connected to the umbilical cord, was stabbed with a knife. And the mother hit in the head. And she uses your imagination, trying to figure out what came first. A frightening photograph released by Israel shows the blackened and charred body of a child killed by Hamas terrorists.
Landau detailed further atrocities that defy belief. He said that in the house next door, he and his team saw two parents with their hands behind their backs. ‘Lying beside them were two small children, also with their hands tied. They were burned alive,’ Landau said. I saw a dead mother holding her baby, both killed by a single bullet that passed through them. I saw 20 children killed, burned and piled together and two piles,” Landau said, his voice now overcome with emotion at the horrors he witnessed. In response to the barbaric attacks, which saw 1,300 Israelis massacred, Israel launched a relentless barrage of airstrikes that obliterated entire neighborhoods of Gaza and killed 1,343 Palestinians.
“Humanitarian aid to Gaza only when abductees are released”: Israel issues stark warning as it continues to strike targets and surround enclave with 300,000 troops, prompting US to ask IDF to “uphold the laws of war”… It had previously emerged that terrorists had massacred entire families, including 40 children, in the Kfar Aza kibbutz, and some Israeli soldiers said that some children had reportedly been beheaded. Now, the Jerusalem Post has said it can confirm, based on verified photos, that the bodies burned and beheaded in the Hamas massacre in Kfar Aza are correct. The newspaper said photos of the beheaded children and their burned bodies were shown to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken during his visit to Israel today. Early this morning an Israeli military spokesperson appeared to confirm reports that Hamas terrorists had beheaded children. Israel Defense Forces spokesman Jonathan Conricus said a medical examiner who visited the aftermath of the massacre at a kibbutz near the Gaza Strip saw the children’s bodies and confirmed how they died.
“I admit it took time to verify the report, and it was hard to believe that Hamas could carry out such a barbaric act,” he said in comments to the BBC. We can now say, with relative certainty, that this is what Hamas did. And Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant today showed his counterparts at a NATO meeting uncensored footage of atrocities committed by terrorists, comparing Hamas to ISIS. “I walked from house to house. I saw Holocaust survivors, burned alive. The children were tied up and shot. Yes, I repeat, the children were tied up and shot,’ Gallant said>>. TV Official 3.0

I can’t confirm or deny this news. The premise here, however, is to be very careful: media hype, in this context, is deliberately spread to accentuate the emotional impact and, subsequently, justify further atrocities.
Situation:
— The number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip is 1,417 people, the number of injured is 6,268 people.
– Hamas is intensely bombing Israeli cities. The population of the city of Sderot is evacuated.
— Israel attacked two airports in Syria. Due to damage to the runways, the airports of Aleppo and Damascus have ceased operations.
— A police station was attacked in Jerusalem. Two police officers were injured. Furthermore, according to Israeli channels, the attacker was killed.
— During the day, Israeli media reported that the air force dropped around 6,000 bombs weighing a total of 4,000 tons on Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.
The hostage situation in the Gaza Strip has not yet been resolved. Their exact number and location are not known, and the sides, apparently, are in no hurry to resolve this issue during hostilities.
