Hamas Denies Atrocities: International Community Calls For Peace

Hamas, in response, denied allegations of beheading children or attacking women, describing the accusations as fabricated and baseless. “We categorically affirm the falsehood of the fabricated allegations promoted by some Western media outlets, which unprofessionally adopt the Zionist narrative full of lies and slander against our Palestinian people and their resistance, the latest of which was the claim of killing children, beheading them, and targeting civilians,” the group said in a statement that was also published on its website.
