Disturbing reports are circulating online today suggesting that in the Kibbutz of Kfar Aza, infants and children under 2 years old were beheaded by Hamas terrorists. The horrific nature of these claims is so bad that one would hope they’re false. After all, propaganda often emerges during events like these. The conflict in Ukraine is a prime example of exaggerated stories and propaganda. Who can forget the widely ballyhooed “Ghost of Kiev” propaganda story that former Congressman Adam Kinzinger passed off as factual?

However, given what we’ve observed of Hamas’s actions and behaviors during this attack, could they indeed be capable of such acts as beheading babies? Perhaps.

Now, a foreign journalist named Margot Haddadis is among the first to claim these atrocities have indeed been verified by officials. Here is the translated version of what she said:

That’s it, the information is out. It’s so macabre that no one wanted to reveal it until they had 100% confirmation.

🔺 Infants and children under 2 years old were beheaded by Hamas in the Kibbutz of Kfar Aza. It is a horror, a massacre.

For those asking for the source. They are multiple: Israeli army, internal intelligence service and atrocious images which reached me and which I was able to cross-check. But the best source remains this: courageous journalists from the foreign press who were able to see / agreed to see with their own eyes the bodies in Kfar Aza.

The New York Post is also reporting on this unthinkable massacre.

Hamas terrorists slaughtered at least 40 babies and young children — decapitating some of them — at a kibbutz near the Gaza border, a local outlet said Tuesday.

“It’s hard to even explain exactly, just the mass casualties that happened right here,” visibly shaken i24 News correspondent Nicole Zedek said during a broadcast from Kibbutz Kfar Aza near Sderot about a quarter-mile from the Gaza Strip.

“Babies with their heads cut off, that’s what [the soldiers] said. Gunned down. Families gunned down, completely gunned down in their beds,” Zedek said of the “sheer horror.

“This is nothing that anyone would have even imagined,” she said.

Kfar Aza was one of several Israeli kibbutzim attacked by Hamas over the weekend when extremist militants crossed from Gaza into southern Israel and unleashed a barrage of violence that gave way to an all-out war between the two sides.

Around 70 Hamas terrorists are believed to have carried out the atrocities at Kfar Aza with guns, grenades and knives, i24 News said.

In addition, this French reporter is also confirming the horrific story. Here is the translation:

“We are talking about burned houses with entire families killed inside, women and children whose heads have been cut off. It’s the apocalypse »

The IDF discovers the massacres committed by the #Hamas in the kibbutz of Kfar Aza. (I24)

The story appears to be corroborated by many journalists on the scene.

JUST IN: Israeli soldiers have found the bodies of dozens of babies with their heads cut off by Hamas.

Reporter Nicole Zedek was on the ground in Israel as she became emotional when sharing the news.

“I’m talking to some of the soldiers and they say what they’ve witnessed as they’ve been walking through these different houses, these different communities.”

“Babies, their heads cut off. That’s what they said. Gunned down families completely gunned down in their beds. You can see some of these soldiers right now comforting each other. Many of them reserves, who jumped into action, leaving their own families behind as well, not knowing the sheer horror that they were about to come to.”

We should remain skeptical and vigilant when hearing stories such as these, especially after the Nayirah hoax from the first Gulf War.

The Fake News in 1990 That Propelled the U.S. into the First Gulf War:

In October 1990, a fifteen-year-old Kuwaiti girl gave a harrowing testimony before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus, recounting inhumane atrocities committed by Iraqi soldiers in her country. It was credited for helping draw the U.S. into the Gulf War later that year. Her claims were ultimately refuted by evidence to the contrary, exposing deceptive motives and sources behind the ploy.

Known as “Nayirah”, the girl told the caucus that Iraqi soldiers had removed scores of babies from incubators and left them to die. Her story was originally corroborated by Amnesty International and other evacuees of Kuwait at the time.

[…]

According to the New York Times in 1992, the girl’s testimony was actually orchestrated by the big public relations firm Hill & Knowlton on behalf of a client, the Kuwaiti-sponsored Citizens for a Free Kuwait. The client’s aim was to secure military support from the U.S. through raising awareness about the dangers posed to Kuwait by Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein.

The girl who gave the testimony was also revealed to be not just an ordinary civilian but the daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador to the U.S.

What led to the contested testimony? In 1990, after the firm was approached by a Kuwaiti expatriate in New York and agreed to collaborate with Citizens for a Free Kuwait, a $1 million study was conducted to determine the best way to win support for strong action.

The firm had the Wirthington Group conduct focus groups to determine the best strategy that would influence public opinion. The study found that an emphasis on atrocities, such as the incubator story, would be the most effective.

Hill & Knowlton is estimated to have been given as much as $12 million by the Kuwaitis for their public relations campaign.

True or not, our prayers are with the innocent victims and their families. The events unfolding around innocent civilians, particularly children, are profoundly disturbing and unsettling, to say the least.
