The White House was forced to walk back on president Joe Biden's claim to have seen "confirmed pictures" of "terrorists beheading children" in Israel.
The Israel Defence Force previously claimed that at least 40 babies were killed in the Kfar Aza kibbutz over the weekend when the Hamas militant group launched an attack on Israel.
The army later clarified to Anadolu news agency that there was "no information confirming" allegations that "Hamas beheaded babies".

The accusation of killing babies must be first in the list when you look up "Casus Belli" in the CIA handbook ...
Babies were definitely killed. The psychopathic terrorist supporters latched onto beheadings because that's tougher to confirm and they don't consider just murdering children in their beds to be a problem.
I agree with the first sentence. Everyone can become a victim in that kind of war and on the scale that we have seen the probability that no children and babies were killed is close to zero. However - what I was referring to was the tactic of accusing the enemy of systematic baby killing to steer the public opinion towards support of a war, like when the US had decided to invade Iraq and had Nayirah al-Ṣabaḥ lie about alleged baby killing by Iraqi soldiers.

Your second sentence is pure framing and off topic but anyway. I honestly don´t care if the countless victims of all ages were killed by shooting, bombing or beheading. What matters is that they were killed and each death is one too much. Both sides have to stop their violence and develop a sustainable solution which both peoples can live with, instead of staying in a never ending war.
