The source for the "beheaded babies" claim is Israeli channel i24 News.
A Haaretz investigation previously found that i24 News functions as a proxy for the Netanyahu family, with directives coming directly from the Israeli Prime Minister's office at times.
i24 News has employed at least 35 veterans of the Israeli occupation forces as staff
Channa Rifkin is an i24News correspondent who transitioned from the channel's Social Media editor to the Israeli military, then returned to work for i24News.
Polina Gareav, who works as the Germany Correspondent for i24News while also working as a "social media guru" at DW, the German broadcaster where Palestinians were fired for social media posts.
She began her career as the News Editor for the Israeli Military magazine.
David Matlin, the host of a daily flagship show on i24News, is a former Israeli military sergeant and the regional director for Israel lobby group AIPAC.
Eyal Pinko, who was the head of intelligence in the Israeli Navy before becoming the head of division in the Israeli prime minister's office, is another correspondent for the channel.
Daniel Tsemach, a former social media manager for the Israeli military, was also hired as a journalist by i24News.
He later became the international media manager and spokesman for the Israeli state-owned arms firm Rafeal Systems.
The suspicion of owner of i24News Patrick Drahi's links to Israeli intelligence is such that when he became the top shareholder in British Telecom, he was investigated by the British government due to "national security" concerns.

JK Rowling is being defended against charges of antisemitism.
Her agent & chair of her charity is Neil Blair. He is an Ambassador of the Abraham Initiatives. It's trustees report claims it "advances synergy between Israeli bodies & respective agencies & institutions in the UK."
The Abraham Initiatives was founded by Alan B. Slifka, who was awarded a prize in the Israeli Kneeset in 2000 for his work with the org.
Today, the Alan B. Slifka Foundation funds the Abraham Initiatives, the Friends of the IDF & the Jerusalem Foundation (builds in settlements)
The Chairman of the Abraham Initiatives UK is Alex Brummer.
He is simultaneously the Vice President of the Board of Deputies which according to it's trustees report has a "close working relationship with the Israeli Embassy & strengthened links with the IDF."
Robert Jenrick has targeted David Miller. Not suprising from someone who considers the Ofer brothers "family friends."
The Ofer family shipping company Zodiac Maritime was reported to be a front for Israeli intelligence, running agents into Iran & Dubai for assassinations.
The same kind of legal corruption which allowed him as Housing Minister to have an advisor on building regulations who was simultaneously technical director of Celotex.
But Celotex's influence seems to have far deeper roots than that. 2011 posted on their website was a page (now deleted) titled "Celotex enter government" and boasted they were "working inside government."
They even felt confident enough about regulations to make a bus like this
Just for the record Detective Chief Superintendent Fiona McCormack, who appears as spokesperson for the Police investigation of the Grenfell fire, has been qouted as saying "the insulation (Celotex RS5000) was more flammable than the cladding"
Churchill on the 1905 Aliens Act passed by PM Balfour to stop Jewish refugees coming here to escape pogroms in Tsarist Russia:
"To judge by the talk there has been, one would have imagined we were being overrun by a swarming invasion, and ousted from our island....."
(2) "It does not appear that there can be urgent or sufficient reasons, racial or social, for departing from the old tolerant and generous practise of free entry and asylum to which this country has so long adhered and from which it has so greatly gained.”
(3) "The simple immigrant, the politica refugee, the helpless and the poor - these are the folk who will be caught in the trammels of the Bill and may be harassed and hustled at the pleasure of petty officials without the smallest right of appeal..."
Hearing of the police who took selfies with two murdered sisters being bailed, it reminded me of the case of Omega Mwaikambo. He lived in a block next to Grenfell and found a dead body placed outside his front door within the block.
His phone served as a witness to the apocalyptic madness and he took a video of the man on the floor wrapped in plastic. Maybe he wanted to let the persons loved ones know that he was dead, maybe he just wanted to let people know quite how serious the failure of state had been
Maybe he wanted someone else to witness this insanity and help him understand what exactly was going on. He posted the video online, not as a selfie but as a plea begging to know what the hell was happening.
