    That was already confirmed, including photos. Only, at least some of the photos were originally only shown to selected politicians, diplomats and journalists. Our (czech) ambassador confirmed seeing them, and seeing photos of burned babies as well.

    Some people claimed that these photos were later (officially) made public, but I sure as hell am not going to go looking for them.

      I went looking and there isn't much being returned short of 5-6 days ago, but I've seen no proof that it happened, only people walking back that they never really saw photos and were taking Israeli spokes-heads at face value. Here's a Boston globe opinion piece from today that still claims the information is/was unverified.

      Edit: from 5 days ago: Israeli official says government cannot confirm babies were beheaded in Hamas attack

        Our ambassador said this in an interview (machine translated, I'm too lazy):

        There is even talk of beheading children.
        Unfortunately, this is confirmed information, the Israeli government and military have pictures of this, which are really horrible, really horrible.
        Have you seen them yourself?
        Yes, I have seen the pictures.

        The same was said by Jerusalem Post.

        And Here is a tweet by Margot Haddad, a french journalist, editor of La Chaîne Info TV station, who also claims to have seen and cross-checked the photos.

        For me personally this is enough to say "confirmed".

      Isn't that three three babies, two of which burned and one was shot? Now don't get me wrong that's still horrible, but "forty babies were beheaded" is… yeah.

        I know nothing about the "40 babies" claim, but our ambassador, who to me is a completely trustworthy person, explicitly said that she was shown photos of beheaded babies by Israeli officials.

        I linked sources in a comment below the one you're replying to. It is possible that all 3 are mistaken, but since 2 of them are non-israeli and as I know not particularly biased, and you're still accusing me of being a propagandist, kindly take a walk and stop posting.
