The Israeli government has not confirmed the specific claim that Hamas attackers beheaded babies during the attack on Saturday, contradicting an earlier statement by the Prime Minister's office. An Israeli official stated that while there have been cases of Hamas militants committing brutal acts, they cannot confirm the identity of the victims, such as whether they were children, soldiers, or civilians. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had indicated the beheadings occurred, but his office later released photos showing burned bodies without specifying their ages. Explosive allegations about decapitated children emerged earlier in Israeli media, and the Israel Defense Forces described the scene as a "massacre." However, Hamas denied the allegations, and CNN could not independently verify the claims.

Either the Mossad’s competence is under a serious question, which we know is not the case, or the deliberate neglect of a billion-dollar prison fence, leading to multiple breaches by Hamas, and uninterpreted, suggests a premeditated action by the Israeli Mossad.

At this juncture, it’s becoming increasingly plausible that there might be a strategy to cause further destruction in Gaza, followed by a calculated humanitarian agreement allowing Palestinians temporary access to enter Egypt from Rafah, ultimately resulting in the appropriation of Gaza’s land by Israel, as true to tradition.

The extensive military support sent by the U.S. in response to Israel’s actions in Gaza appears highly unusual, given the frequency of such incidents in the past without a similar level of support.
