Horrific images of murdered babies show ‘depravity in worst way’
Israel has released horrifying images to prove that evil Hamas terrorists murdered babies during their merciless attacks. Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, confirmed he had seen some of the shocking pictures, saying: “It’s simply depravity in the worst imaginable way.”
“If images are worth one thousand words, these images may be worth a million.
“Babies riddled with bullets, young people burned alive.”
A shocked Mr Blinken said the photos were “beyond what anyone would want to imagine” and also included beheaded soldiers.
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office posted images on social media yesterday showing infants disfigured and burned in an attack on a kibbutz near the Gaza border.
He had moved to counter Palestinian claims that there was no evidence to support accounts of atrocities committed during Saturday’s attack.

Mr Netanyahu said: “Hamas has shown itself to be an enemy of civilization.
“The massacring of young people in an outdoor music festival. The butchering of entire families. The murder of parents in front of their children and the murder of children in front of their parents.
“The burning of people alive. Beheading. The kidnapping of a young boy – not only kidnapped, molested, hurt, attacked.”
One of the released images showed a tiny child, not more than 12 months old, lying on a white body bag that was much too large. The infant’s flower-patterned babygrow was covered with blood.
Other photographs show the blackened bodies of two infants murdered during the attacks in southern Israel.
The Jerusalem Post also said it had verified photographs of babies beheaded by the terrorists in the Kfar Aza kibbutz, just a mile from the border with Gaza.
Members of a rescue team who visited the site reported seeing a pregnant woman lying dead on the floor of the first house they walked into. She had been shot in the head, her unborn baby stabbed with a knife, it was said.
One picture from Kfar Aza showed distressed soldiers in tears at the sight of a family dining table, on which sat bread from a meal interrupted by the attacks.
Yossi Landau, an aid worker, said he entered one house where two parents had their hands tied behind their backs.
He added: “Lying by their side were two small children, with their hands also tied behind their back. They were all burned to death.
“I saw a dead mother holding her dead baby, both killed with a single bullet that went through them. I saw 20 children shot and burned and piled together.”

An Israeli military spokesman yesterday appeared to confirm the reports of decapitated babies and their burned bodies.
Israel Defence Forces spokesman Jonathan Conricus said a coroner had seen the children’s bodies and confirmed how they died.
He said: “It was hard to believe that even Hamas could perform such a barbaric act. I think we can now say, with relative confidence, that this is what Hamas did.
“There were bodies scattered everywhere, mutilated.”
Israel’s defence minister Yoav Gallant showed uncensored footage of the atrocities committed by the terrorists to his counterparts at a Nato meeting.
He said: “I walked from house to house. And saw the bodies of our pioneers, the Holocaust survivors, burned alive. Children were tied and shot. We have been hit hard.
“Yet make no mistake – 2023 is not 1943. We are the same Jews, but we have different capabilities. The state of Israel is strong.”
Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky yesterday called on world leaders to visit Israel to show their support.
He said: “Feeling supported can help you save your country, people and life. This is why I urge all leaders
to visit Israel and show their support.”
Mr Blinken and Foreign Secretary James Cleverly were the first officials from foreign governments to
arrive in Israel
this week. Meanwhile, residents in Israel with gun licences have now been offered firearms. The government has purchased 4,000 handguns for emergency response units, with weapons being distributed around the country.
The move has seen civilians going about their daily business while armed with guns.
