JERUSALEM: Israel's government showed US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and NATO defence ministers graphic images of dead children and civilians on Thursday (Oct 12), saying they were killed by Palestinian group Hamas as it builds support for its response.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office also released on social media a picture of a dead infant in a pool of blood and the charred body of a child, part of an apparent effort to stoke global anger against the Gaza militants over Saturday's attack.
Gaza authorities said more than 1,400 Palestinians, mainly civilians, including children, have already been killed and more than 6,000 wounded. A land invasion in the densely populated territory could send the toll much higher. It added:"Hamas is inhuman. Hamas is ISIS", comparing the Palestinian group to the Islamic State, which was notorious for its brutality and gory execution videos.
"The plan was to target the army's Gaza team and fight occupation soldiers only," Arouri said in quotes published by Hamas.
