I went looking and there isn’t much being returned short of 5-6 days ago, but I’ve seen no proof that it happened, only people walking back that they never really saw photos and were taking Israeli spokes-heads at face value. Here’s a Boston globe opinion piece from today that still claims the information is/was unverified.
Our ambassador said this in an interview (machine translated, I’m too lazy):
There is even talk of beheading children.
Unfortunately, this is confirmed information, the Israeli government and military have pictures of this, which are really horrible, really horrible. Have you seen them yourself?
Yes, I have seen the pictures.
The same was said by Jerusalem Post.
And Here is a tweet by Margot Haddad, a french journalist, editor of La Chaîne Info TV station, who also claims to have seen and cross-checked the photos.
For me personally this is enough to say “confirmed”.
Given the amount of walking back and refusal to verify, along with going radio silent about it, means this is a BS story in my mind. If this had really happened, Israel wouldn’t be able to stop themselves from plastering it across every news feed that would run them as evidence of hamas’ barbarism.

Edit: from 5 days ago: Israeli official says government cannot confirm babies were beheaded in Hamas attack

That’s interesting, considering Israeli government officials wouldn’t confirm the veracity of the photos, and after the US Whitehouse made the same claims, they were also walked back because they saw news reports and not photographic evidence. Same with multiple news orgs.
