  • Israel soldiers say they found dead babies at a kibbutz near the Israel-Gaza border.
  • The IDF told Insider that some had been decapitated.
  • The kibbutz was attacked by Hamas on Saturday, and there was fighting there into Sunday.

A spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces told Insider on Tuesday that its soldiers found the decapitated corpses of babies at Kfar Aza, a kibbutz near Gaza.

The spokesperson, Major Nir Dinar, did not say how many babies' bodies had been found, nor how many had been beheaded.

There hasn't been independent confirmation of what was found, though other Israeli media have reported the same claim and attributed it to soldiers.
