Israel hit Gaza with retaliatory air strikes after a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7. As of Oct. 17, at least 3,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed by Israel’s bombing campaign, according to Gaza’s Hamas authorities. The picture being shared shows the bodies of at least seven children, wrapped in white fabric. Reuters reported that hundreds of people were killed in a sarin gas attack on Aug. 21, 2013, in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta. Claims that hundreds of Palestinian children have died since the latest conflict between Israel and Hamas escalated are true, according to authorities.
