The story appeared to stem from alleged observations by Israeli soldiers after a massacre in the village of Kfar Aza. Many verified news reports documented the deaths of innocent civilians killed by Hamas militants in Kfar Aza. I'm getting a lot of question [sic] about the reports of "Hamas beheaded babies” that were published after the media tour in the village. [...] Soldiers I spoke with in Kfar Aza yesterday didn't mention "beheaded babies”. The scene in Kfar Aza was horrific, with dozens of bodies of Israelis murdered in their homes.
