The Jerusalem Post has now verified the authenticity of photos depicting the horrific burning and beheading of infants in the Hamas attack on Kfar Aza. May their memory be a blessing.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was shown these images during his visit to Israel on Thursday by the Public Diplomacy Directorate in the Prime Minister’s Office. Later that day, the images were shared on Twitter by the Prime Minister’s Office, with a content warning requiring users to click a “show” button to view them.

Over the past two days, the Hamas terrorist organization has initiated a campaign to deny allegations of kidnapping, murdering, and abusing civilians during its assault on southern Israel.

Personal items, including a child’s stroller, were found on the road next to a car days after a large-scale infiltration by Hamas terrorists from the Gaza Strip, near Kibbutz Kfar Aza, in southern Israel

In a video released by Hamas, the group refuted reports of infants being beheaded in Kfar Aza. On Thursday, Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri also claimed that the 1,200 al-Qassam Brigades members who infiltrated Israel did not target civilians, alleging that Palestinian civilians entered later and engaged in combat with Israeli civilians.

Arouri stated, “When the Israeli Gaza Division collapsed, civilians from Gaza entered and clashed with the settlers, and civilians fell.” However, footage from the area taken on Saturday showed individuals dressed in the uniforms of the al-Qassam Brigades and other terrorist groups from the Gaza Strip participating in the massacre and mass kidnapping in southern Israel.
