Haaretz article: Detailing unverified and inaccurate accounts of the 7 October Hamas attack

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 that they did not add up. Analysts have asserted that such spreading of misinformation and fabrications which typically focus on particularly inflammatory issues are used to rile up popular sentiment in favour of atrocities against a specific entity and in this case, have paved the way for Israel’s deadly assaults in Gaza.
