7 October witness Yossi Landau fails to substantiate claims in Al Jazeera investigation

Yossi Landau, head of operations of the ZAKA rescue unit, was unable to substantiate claims he made as an eyewitness of the aftermath of the 7 October attacks by Palestinian fighters against Israel, during an interview with Al Jazeera as part of an investigation that aired on Wednesday. Landau was interviewed as one of the Israeli rescue workers dispatched to Kibbutz Be’eri, where he claimed tens of children had been tied and burned to death. The death toll figures from Kibbutz Be’eri revealed only 10 children had been killed, Al Jazeera’s investigation reported. When Landau offered to show a picture that he alleged was a pregnant Israeli woman who had been cut open with her baby removed, Al Jazeera’s interviewer said that the picture showed an unidentifiable piece of charred flesh, and that the list of the dead contained no victim that fit Landau’s description.
