Along with the burnt body of a kid, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office posted an image of a dead baby in a pool of blood on X, formerly Twitter, seemingly in an attempt to incite resentment towards the Hamas terrorists for their strike on October 7.
'Heartbreaking & Disturbing'
Issuing the pictures with the warning that the pictures of the murdered babies are horrifying, it called Hamas terrorists 'monsters.'
The office of the Prime Minister of Israel wrote, 'Here are some of the photos Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu showed to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.'
'Hamas is inhuman. Hamas is ISIS.'
As reported by Reuters, the White House confirmed that it had no grounds to question the credibility of the images. Verified video recordings and testimonies from witnesses provide a description of a ground assault by Hamas and a series of rocket attacks that caused extensive damage to communities.
The video presented to NATO, compiled from a combination of social media posts by Hamas and unattributed smartphone videos, displayed numerous deceased civilians and also featured the body of an Israeli soldier in uniform with his head missing.
Netizens React To Pictures
Soon after the pictures were released, social media users took to the post and shared their thoughts. One user wrote, "My heart aches for these innocent babies and for the people of Israel. I forced myself to look. Not because I wanted to but because I needed to see that the devil did this. Pure evil."
While another said that the people who called Israel a liar need to be called out. The user wrote, "Everyone who has been pushing conspiracy theories that Israel was lying about dead babies needs to be called out and shamed."
Blinken's Visit To Israel
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who arrived in Tel Aviv on October 12, informed that he was presented with pictures and videos depicting a baby struck by multiple bullets, soldiers who had been decapitated, and young individuals who were set on fire in their vehicles or places of refuge.
"It's sheer evil in the most horrific manner," Blinken stated. "Pictures convey the message more powerfully than words. In this case, these images might be worth a million words."
Other Horrors
According to news agency AFP, Yossi Landau, an aid worker affiliated with Zaka, an organisation that retrieves the remains of individuals who have died inexplicably, discovered an Israeli woman's corpse in Sderot whose belly had been torn open and whose infant had been stabbed by Hamas terrorists.
Additionally, he claimed that some remains had been arranged such that it seemed as though they had been molested sexually.
"A baby was stabbed and still attached to the cord inside her torn-open tummy. We observed several victims positioned as though they had experienced sexual abuse," Yossi said.
Israel-Palestine War
According to Gaza officials, over 1,400 Palestinians, primarily civilians, including children, have already lost their lives, with more than 6,000 sustaining injuries. If a ground incursion were to occur in this densely populated area, the casualty count could significantly increase.
The ongoing conflict, which has now reached its seventh day today, has resulted in over 3,700 fatalities. There are clear indications that Israel is considering a ground offensive in the Gaza Strip, where a population of 2.3 million resides.
