The Israeli prime minister has shared graphic photos of murdered and burned babies on his official X account following claims some babies were beheaded by Hamas gunmen.
“Hamas is inhuman. Hamas is ISIS,” Benjamin Netanyahu captioned the disturbing photos, noting that he’d shown the images to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
The images were posted amid a three-day back-and-forth about viral reports claiming 40 babies had been beheaded by Hamas in one community that came under siege on Saturday. That claim, initially voiced by a reporter for an Israeli TV network who cited unnamed soldiers, was then disputed before being repeated again by Netanyahu’s spokesperson on Wednesday, only to be cast in doubt again Thursday when the Israeli military declined to confirm it.
