Israel has given false information regarding the attacks that took place on October seventh, Israeli news outlet Haaretz reported on Sunday.
The Israeli newspaper gave details to how accounts of the attacks were unverified and inaccurate, which led to the publication of false stories.
Some of these stories described atrocities committed by Hamas, and were provided to the media by Israeli officials and soldiers.
Haaretz cross-referenced some of these allegations and found that they do not add up.
Zaka, a volunteer search and rescue organisation which worked at the scene, said that some of its members may have “misinterpreted” what they saw.
The organisation also admitted that its members are not professional pathologists.
According to Haaretz, one of the main topics with no evidence was the death of 40 children and babies in Israel.
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made up another false story when he told US President Joe Biden that Palestinians “bound dozens of children” together and burned them alive.
According to Israeli press, there is no evidence to suggest that dozens of children were found dead in the same location provided by Netanyahu.
Eli Beer, president of United Hatzalah of Israel, a volunteer emergency medical services organisation, came up with another story saying that an Israeli baby was found burned in an oven.
Haaretz also reported that this story is false as well.
A source from United Hatzalah told Haaretz that this story originated from a volunteer who thought he saw such a crime and told it to Beer inaccurately.
A Zaka volunteer also claimed to have seen the body of a shot pregnant woman in Be’eri with her stomach ripped open and the baby attached to her stabbed.
He further added on to the lie by saying that two children, aged six and seven, were found dead next to her.
Israeli press, however, said that of the 87 people killed in Be’eri, none were aged six or seven.
Moreover, Be’eri residents doubted the pregnant woman incident took place in their community.
The Israeli police said they were unaware of it, while a source at the Shura military camp, where bodies are identified and prepared for burial, denied having any knowledge of such a crime.
Zaka told Haaretz that the volunteers may have “misinterpreted what they saw”.
“The volunteers are not pathology experts and have no professional tools to identify the murdered person and their age, or to declare the manner in which they were killed,” Zaka added.
The question then remains, if suddenly all of these people are not experts, why is the Israeli government, military, and press relying on their misrepresentation?
