The Israel Defense Forces could not confirm a horrific claim that Hamas beheaded babies during a weekend assault, a spokesperson for the military told The Intercept.
It does sound rather lurid, a bit like Saddam Hussein’s troops throwing Kuwaiti babies out of incubators (which turned out to have been made up for selling Operation Desert Storm).
Of course, that’s not ruling it out, though it does feel like someone at some stage may have over-egged the pudding.

It’s one of the oldest tricks in the book. Preying on parental instinct is stupidly easy.
