Babies were killed in Israel by Hamas at the kibbutz Kfar Aza, and some of them were beheaded during the surprise attack on the residential community, according to a reporter on the ground for i24 News.

The written i24 news report, by journalist Nicole Zedek says, “About 40 babies and young children have been taken out on gurneys — so far.”

The Jewish Chronicle reported that the reports emanated from Kfar Aza kibbutz near the Gaza border.

You can watch the i24 reporter’s original report, which was shared on X, below. In it, she said that babies were beheaded. i24News is a 24-hour television news channel based in Tel Aviv, Israel.

I24, the news website referenced for the story in this article, has a record of being unfactual

It has been confirmed by many other news sources. Now even president of USA mentioned it, although not beheading, just killing.

Which news sources have independently confirmed this? Last I had seen the source was pretty much "Some IDF guys said so"

[-] luthis@lemmy.nz 14 points 11 months ago

I checked ground news, but the several stories I checked just linked back to I24. Any independent sources that you know of?

[-] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

The president part, I just watched his talk. As for other sources I got that from Margot Haddads zit (or tweet or whatever is called now). She's ex CNN reporter. Not sure who is she currently working for.

Biden said Netanyahu said it. That's hearsay not confirmed reporting.

If you wish to search photos of decapitated kids to satisfy your disbelief, go ahead but that's where I draw the line. That's one image I could live without in my memory and even if it's not true, they have committed enough atrocities to justify any response.

I don't but at this point fuck it. I'll be the sacrificial goat. But since so many people here claim to have seen them I'm surprised nobody has linked any evidence.

they have committed enough atrocities to justify any response.

No they absolutely have not. What a disgusting response.

Do you happen to have any other examples? The only ones I've found source the story from I24

[-] quindraco@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

This is the only original source I can find. Everything else seems to ultimately cite this excretion.

[-] DoomBot5@lemmy.world -4 points 11 months ago

Yet your link says they have mixed results rather than straight unfactual like you claim.

[-] Number1SummerJam@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

So it’s ok for the news to lie if it’s only sometimes?

[-] DeepFriedDresden@kbin.social 11 points 11 months ago

The problem is that there are no other sources on this. All the articles I've read through cite i24 or the IDF who only have soldier accounts of what was seen, but no soldiers named.

One of the articles mentioned multiple journalists being there yet i24 is the only one talking about it. i24 is also based in Tel Aviv.

Until separate accounts or physical evidence comes out, this can't be taken as the whole truth. Too many red flags.
