🔴On 7 October 2023, Israel began spreading atrocity propaganda — rapes, burned babies, family massacres. But a big share of deaths that day were by Israeli fire. From the start, EI exposed these lies while mainstream media spread them. Here's some of our key investigations🧵 
On 16 October 2023, we published the groundbreaking story, "Israeli forces shot their own civilians, kibbutz survivor says" — Yasmin Porat's firsthand testimony that Israeli troops, not Palestinian fighters, massacred Israeli civilians in Kibbutz Be'eri electronicintifada.net/content/israel…
Later that month, we ran, "Israel furious that elderly captive spoke of humane treatment by Hamas" — about Yocheved Lifshitz, who spoke well of the treatment she had received in Gaza, a message the government did not want the world to hear electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abun…
In "Shoot everything: how Israeli pilots killed their own civilians," we revealed that Israeli aircraft fired indiscriminately, killing Israelis and Palestinians alike electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abun…
In November 2023, Israeli air force colonel Nof Erez confirmed to a Hebrew-only podcast that Israel had targeted its own people, calling it a “mass Hannibal” electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
We revisited Be'eri in "Israeli child 'burned completely' by Israeli tank fire at kibbutz," and revealed the truth about 12-year-old Liel Hatsroni's death, which Israel had exploited for its propaganda electronicintifada.net/content/israel…
On the EI Livestream on 4 December 2023, we did our first major debunking of Israel's 7 October "mass rape" hoax — many more reports would follow, dismantling Israel's false claims of systematic sexual violence electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abun…
Later that month, in "Israeli general killed Israelis on 7 October, then lied about it," EI revealed how senior officer Barak Hiram ordered his forces to fire on Israelis, then tried to blame Hamas electronicintifada.net/content/israel…
In January 2024, we published more evidence of Israel's use of the Hannibal Directive — its policy of killing its own people to stop them being taken captive "at any cost" electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
In March 2024, EI reported that Israel’s celebrated "Civil Commission" on 7 October rape claims was a sham and that even the @nytimes, which has yet to retract its own false "mass rape" claims, had undercut its own reporting electronicintifada.net/content/israel…
That same month Yossi Landau, the Jewish extremist who concocted some of Israel’s worst atrocity propaganda, admitted that his story about Hamas executing children was untrue electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
In “Israel’s national murder-suicide pact,” we examined the history and psychology of the Hannibal Directive and what drives so many Israelis to accept their own government deliberately killing them or their loved ones electronicintifada.net/content/israel…
In May 2024, we debunked "Screams Before Silence," Facebook billionaire Sheryl Sandberg’s 7 October "mass rape" film, showing how it is riddled with contradictory and unverified claims and outright falsehoods

The same month, German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock claimed she saw a video filmed by a Hamas member of an Israeli woman being raped on 7 October 2023 — something that does not exist. She's never been held accountable for this oft-repeated lie electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abun…
We also showed how the UN — despite attempting to launder Israel's mass rape lies and give them credibility — ended up debunking and discrediting them instead electronicintifada.net/content/un-rep…
In July 2024, we revealed that the Israeli army's probe of the 7 October killings at Kibbutz Be'eri was a cover-up – to exonerate Israeli officers involved in ordering and carrying out direct fire at Israeli civilians

On the genocide's first anniversary, we published, "How Israel killed hundreds of its own people on 7 October," drawing together the evidence mainstream media continue to ignore or deny electronicintifada.net/content/how-is…
In April 2025, in "The Vach brothers: Israel’s first family of genocide," we exposed how senior army officers were perpetrating massacres and crimes against humanity in Gaza without any accountability — and are still being promoted electronicintifada.net/content/vach-b…
This should have been world news, but EI was one of the few to report, in February 2025, the former Israeli defense minister's admission that the army was ordered to kill Israelis on 7 October electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
In another major story ignored by mainstream media, in April 2025, we covered how key Israeli "mass rapes" witness Rami Davidian was exposed as a liar who profited from his fake tales of 7 October heroism electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abun…
In a related story in early 2025 — also ignored by mainstream media — we reported on an interview in which a top Israeli prosecutor admitted that there had been no credible complaints of rapes on 7 October electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abun…
The Electronic Intifada has consistently exposed how Israeli atrocity propaganda was manufactured and spread to justify genocide, but to this day, these lies are still repeated. The truth must prevail. Find these investigations and more here: electronicintifada.net/tags/7-october…
