Turns out, there were no babies beheaded. Of the 1200 people killed on October 7th, only 36 were children (3% of total deaths). Hamas was actually practicing much more discrimination in avoiding killing children than the IDF (60% of total deaths).
It seems to me that there was rape and sexual violence committed by Hamas fighters. But I have no idea to what extent, because I honestly can't tell whether it's like the 10 babies or not, if the accounts are exaggerated or to what extent they are exaggerated. That's why we need honest reporting.

The problem is that Israelis have lied so often about what happened on October 7 -- Hamas beheaded forty babies, Hamas baked babies in an oven etc. -- that even when they're telling the truth nobody believes them.
I have no doubt that Hamas committed acts of sexual violence on October 7, but the extent of that violence may never be known because Israel refuses to allow independent investigators to examine the evidence.
