BEGINS - IDF says it won't back up its claim that Hamas decapitated babies in Israel because it is 'disrespectful for the dead'

Israeli soldiers removing civilian bodies who were killed days earlier in an attack by Hamas militants on this kibbutz in Kfar Aza, Israel.

The IDF said it won't investigate its claim that Hamas killed and decapitated babies at a kibbutz.

A spokesperson said that testimonies provided by soldiers were sufficient evidence.

He said that it would be "disrespectful for the dead" to comment on the conditions of the corpses.

A spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces told Insider that the military won't seek further evidence for its claim that Hamas decapitated babies in Israel.

He said it would be "disrespectful for the dead" to do so.

The spokesperson, Major Nir Dinar, was responding to widespread criticism that the IDF had spread a sickening claim about its enemies without demonstrating that it was true.

On Tuesday, Dinar told Insider that babies' bodies had been found at the Kfar Aza kibbutz, and that some had been decapitated.

He said then that the IDF would not confirm the exact number of babies killed or how many had been beheaded.

Insider was unable to independently confirm what was found, but several international media outlets also reported the claim.

A journalist from Israeli broadcaster i24News was the first to say that babies had been killed, saying there were 40.

The journalist, Nicole Zedeck, later nuanced her claim. She said in a post on X that "soldiers told me they believe 40 babies/children were killed. The exact death toll is still unknown as the military continues to go house to house and find more Israeli casualties."

Laura Cellier, an i24NEWS news anchor, said in a post Wednesday that "we stand firmly behind our reporters." She said they were "told by 3 separate IDF officials that around 40 babies & small children were murdered in Kfar Aza, some burned, some beheaded."

CBS News later reported that Israeli body-recovery teams had discovered beheaded babies and children in kibbutzim in southern Israel.

CBS also reported that Yossi Landau, the head of operations for the southern region of Zaka, Israel's volunteer emergency response organization, told the outlet on Wednesday that he had personally seen beheaded babies among the dead. - Contiues at link - https://www.businessinsider.com/idf-says-wont-back-up-beheaded-babies-disrespectful-2023-10
