Summary: The claim that babies were hung on a clothesline during the Oct 7 attack on Israel was first circulated by Ishay Coen, a right-wing journalist, who posted a video of an interview with an Israeli military officer who described the claim. In the days after its release, it spread widely on Israeli social media. The interview was later taken down by Coen, and other social media accounts deleted their reposts. Haaretz compared the claim against death toll numbers collected from the National Insurance Institute of Israel and confirmed that the claim was inaccurate.
