A leading Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, has detailed how unverified and inaccurate accounts of the 7 October Hamas attack and alleged atrocities committed by Palestinian fighters, led to the widespread publication of stories that appear to be false.
Haaretz cross-referenced some of these allegations provided by Israeli officials and soldiers, as well as search-and-rescue volunteers, in a report published on Sunday and found they did not add up.
Analysts have asserted that such spreading of misinformation and fabrications, which typically focus on particularly inflammatory issues, is used to rile up popular sentiment in favour of atrocities against a specific entity and, in this case, has paved the way for Israel’s deadly assaults in Gaza.
