I saw the same report from what you described, and noticed the second time I watched it that no bodies were shown and the journalists specifically said "we heard them say that there were children among the casualties".
In the meantime we have pictures of real dead and confirmed children in Gaza. It's chilling for me to see how the "potential" unproven news of a Israeli children being beheaded is apparently worth (two) million times more than all the Palestinian children shot point blank in the head by Israeli soldiers which has become far too common an occurrence.
Here's some confirmed and documented numbers of what Israel does to Palestinian children:
In the past 23 years, 2293 Palestinian children were killed by Israeli forces.
And yet despite everything done by these NGOs and human rights groups, Israel did not budge and did not try to improve the conditions for these children in an open air prison
In the end I do sincerely hope that no child was injured during those attacks (but like I pointed out earlier, this is unlikely... any attack on any civilian area will leave children at huge risk given how vulnerable they are).
I feel like people wanting to believe the beheaded story has little to do with Israel's attacks on children. Rather, it just fits the narrative of a barbaric raider killing indiscriminately.
However the effectiveness of the lie (assuming it is one) also has nothing to do with the reasons for making it, which is clearly in service to Israel's image.
Yeah... There are plenty of reports about dead children already.
This is not a tit for tat situation, please don't try to make it one.
First of all, I don't think you'll find a photo of the bodies, at least I hope not. You didn't see the holocaust documentary until it was seen in Nuremberg, but then the general public didn't see them until much later.
I see three things here. First, this article is not on reliable feed. Anyone can supply content tp Yahoo. It's the garbage can of news. Second, it is very thinly sourcesd and I havent seen anything similar.
Last, Israel brought journalists into the Kibbutz. Those journalists reported. I didn't note any Anadolucty news agency per the article. Don't know who they are. This article does not disprove the original story. In fact it goes out of its way not to
How am I making it one? I'm talking about how the international community approaches dead children and the documented truth is that Palestinian children are being tortured, raped, killed, you name it with very little reaction and no sanctions on Israel.
No, but I expect at least journalists would be allowed to.
Actually, if you look at the top of the link, this is a news article mirrored from The Independent. You can go and read it there.
Again, it's a mirrored post from an actual news agency.
Actually it's all over the news that the White House backed from these statements.
No, they said they heard about this but none of them were able to confirm it themselves.
EDIT: I wanted to add this picture
Yes, it's all over the news now.

You answered your own question
I would think not. How would you like seeing a loved one slaughtered? Photos should only be taken for forensic purposes in this case.
The news is a denial that the President saw pictures, not that event didn't happen.
No. I first saw a journalist walking through the kibbutz. Lots of blood. Shocked troops cleaning up. The next day Israel invited journalists there, and my eyes saw blood drenched children's beds.
This is a none answer.
As per the article, nothing like that exists, confirmed by the army themselves.
That's one part of the news. The article clearly cites that the army denied it and that no US official has seen or been able to confirm this information.
So no one saw any bodies or forensic reports or photos, just bloody beds. Gotcha.
Imagine someone breaks into... Well I hope you don't have children, so let's say a neighbor's house.
They break into your neighbors house and murder their children in their bed. How much you gonna nickel and dime that?
Well, if I ask police and they themselves confirm there is no evidence of that? This is the situation here, not whatever you have described.
There is actual evidence of entire families murdered in their homes. You can find the pictures with very little effort.
Yes but this is not what we are talking about here. I never denied anything sufficiently documented and probably never will.
Could we stay on point? We are talking about Biden making a false statement that appears to have been manufactured by some Israelis to accomplish some kind of PR agenda.
Your second paragraph is a conspiracy theory, so no I won't be engaging in that.
Unconfirmed.means unconfirmed, not false, and fog of war is very real. There is a reason the Russians, as an example, recently shot down 2 of their own planes - it's not a conspiracy, it's that violence is inherently chaotic.
Actually here's the guy who originally made this claim and the IDF backing away from it

Read what you wrote
So you can't file a FOIA request and see dead kids. So sad for you.
It's not enough. We need the bodies themselves So we can perform independent autopsies!
You're not discussing in good faith in my opinion.
Good faith meaning to agree with you? Perhaps not.
Israel has bent over backwards for the people in Gaza, including offering multiple peace deals and land that was literally never "Palestinian" as their own country.
When terrorists hide in civilian areas, the civilian deaths are the fault of the terrorists, full stop.
"Look at what you made me do!" - abusers, the world over.
This is a moron's interpretation of what is said above.
Given your habit of posting incredibly stupid takes, I'd avoid throwing out words like "moron" here.
Man if I respected you or cared about your opinions, I might react to this.
