Huh, interesting. Search with Grok seems to concur. While they did commit many atrocities against women and children, the ripping from belly events failed journalistic verification.
Insane brutality has happened on both sides. However the statistical numbers are different, before oct 7 and after, one side has been much more successful in its brutalization of the other.
Even if Israel actually were trying to recover the hostages, this wouldn't make sense. Over 20,000 dead Palestinian children and blocking aid does not recover any hostages. On the contrary, it only fuels the terror ideology ensuring Hamas is never eradicated.
Israel is responsible for its own actions. It is not Hamas who is using starvation as a weapon of war, it is Israel.
You should look into the accounts of doctors who are not allowed to take in baby food. Israeli mobs destroying aid trucks. Israeli soldiers gloating about killing children.
While Hamas has done atrocities, this does not allow atrocities to be committed in response. Especially by an occupying power that controls every variable in the environment.
