Mainstream outlets from USA Today to the BBC have regurgitated the Israeli government’s claim that Hamas strangled the Bibas children with their bare hands, prompting centrist hereditary influencer Meghan McCain to call to “blast the people who killed this baby [Kfir Bibas] to hell.”

However, an analysis by Adar Weinreb, an independent Israeli researcher and former IDF soldier, demonstrates that an Israeli airstrike was the most likely cause of death for Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas.
