Hamas has refuted claims that they targeted civilians and beheaded attacks when they attacked Israel on Saturday.
Ghazi Hamad, a Hamas political bureau spokesperson, made the statement to Al Jazeera.
“Give us one picture that Hamas killed civilians, that Hamas killed children, that Hamas killed women. We don’t kill civilians,” he said.
The White House has issued a statement backtracking on claims that US President Joe Biden saw evidence of Hamas beheading children in southern Israel.
