One journalist from the Tel Aviv-based news channel i24 said a soldier told her they had 'witnessed… bodies of babies with their heads cut off' at the Kfar Aza kibbutz near the Gaza border - but no Israeli officials have confirmed the claim.
Reports that Israeli soldiers discovered babies that had been beheaded in the Kfar Aza kibbutz are circulating on social and traditional media outlets around the world. The Israeli Defense Forces invited foreign journalists to see the aftermath of a massacre by Hamas militants at the kibbutz on Tuesday. Sky's Stuart Ramsay was among those to go and see 'stretcher-bearers bringing out a small child' and a basketball court with 'bodies lined up in black body bags'.
' And in another live broadcast, Zedek describes '40 babies at least were taken out on gurneys' - which is where the widely shared 40 figure comes from. In an interview with Sky's Mark Austin on Tuesday evening, Israeli economy minister Nir Barkat echoed a similar claim: 'We've seen just now... we've heard of 40 young boys. Some of them were burned alive. Some were beheaded. Some were shot in the head.
