The President of the United States, Joe Biden, said that he saw “confirmed pictures of Hamas terrorists beheading children”, confirming the reports of atrocities committed by Hamas fighters. 

While attending a meeting with the US Jewish community leaders at a White House, Joe Biden said, “I never really thought that I would see, have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children.” His remarks shocked the entire world.

Did Hamas behead children in Israel? What happened to babies and Israeli women? What is the reality? 

Did Hamas behead children in Israel?

A White House spokesperson has clarified that Joe Biden did not see pictures. He said that Biden’s statement was based on the claims from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesman and Israeli media reports. 

A spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that 40 babies were found near a kibbutz in southern Israel with their “heads decapitated.”

On Tuesday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) invited media and various journalists to witness the aftermath of a massacre by Hamas fighters at the kibbutz. The reports also circulated on social media on Wednesday. Israeli forces said that “women, children and toddlers as well as elderly were brutally butchered in an ISIS way of action.”

Nicole Zedek from i24 news confirmed reports about Hamas fighters beheading babies. However, other media outlets did not confirm the news. Claims about Hamas fighters beheading babies have not been verified by us.

An IDF (Israel Defense Forces) spokesman said that children were killed by Hamas fighters but the reports of beheadings were “unconfirmed”.

Israel-Hamas conflict

The ongoing conflict between Israelis and Hamas fighters started on October 7, 2023. An offensive was launched from the Gaza strip against the Israelis. A large-scale offensive was started by the Hamas militants. 

During the offensive, Hamas militants kidnapped various civilians, including women and small children. Many Israelis had been taken hostage by the Hamas militants. The conflict also increased violence against women and small babies. According to multiple reports and knowledgeable sources, Hamas also raped some women, which is a huge blow to women’s rights. A German woman, who was attending the music festival near the Gaza border, was also paraded naked by Hamas in a truck.
