It has some videos attached but I can't share them in here. Combat Footage UA on Telegram is where you can find them though.

Literally says that it's impossible to verify but fuck it, let's put it on the front page anyway.
Multiple respectable news sources have reported it, or alluded to it, throughout the day. They're not exactly going to post pictures of it are they?

Baron Lebedev of Siberia has approved this headline.

I wouldn't like to be point scoring on this, really hope it isn't true.
Genuinely wasn't my intention. It was more of a dig at our media if anything. Completely agree with your second point, any sane person should.

Unless it's verified, it shouldn't be on the front page of a national newspaper.

Maybe have a look at BBC right now, hardly a pro Israeli news outlet. Its absolutely clear whats happened.

First off, be very wary of war baby stories, they are powerful bits of propaganda that are rarely true, in WW1 the British press was full of stories of German soldiers using Belgium and French babies as bayonet practice, and in the first gulf war who can forget about the babies being thrown out of incubators, it wasn’t true but it engenders good stories and further demonises the enemy.
Supporting the rights of Palestinians is not giving support to terrorists, their are huge civil rights abuses going on in the West Bank, just like you could sympathise with the plight of Catholics in Northern Ireland without supporting the IRA, and like it or not one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter
This bloodshed is only a symptom of a festering wound that has not healed nor will it ever heal until the root causes are dealt with a fair and equitable solution until then and only then will peace prevail
As for the US position, it’s wholly for domestic consumption, but they have taken their eye off the ball, and allowed Israel to carry on with very little change

Bollocks. If you think the BBC and the Independent are going to going to put forward pro-Israeli propaganda, you're on a different planet. Like it or not, it happened.First off, be very wary of war baby stories, they are powerful bits of propaganda that are rarely true, in WW1 the British press was full of stories of German soldiers using Belgium and French babies as bayonet practice, and in the first gulf war who can forget about the babies being thrown out of incubators, it wasn’t true but it engenders good stories and further demonises the enemy.

What a nightmare, dreadful attacks on innocent people in Isreal which is now going to lead to the deaths of loads more innocent people in Gaza. Rince repeat etc.
Also shameful celebrations by deluded people in London etc. How can you celebrate the deaths of anybody let alone civilians including women and children.
We should be saying to these cretins, you want to be part of this nightmare, here's a one way ticket to Gaza. We don't need these idiots here.
