The claim
Hamas operatives killed an Israeli woman, cut open her stomach, and took the fetus out to die slowly.
Rating
FALSE. The government of Israel has publicly shared a comprehensive list of all children, men and women killed on 7 October 2023, Soch Fact Check did not find any mention of a pregnant woman whose stomach was cut open and her fetus taken out. The only infant killed on the day was a 9-month-old named Mila Cohen and she was shot dead as her mother held her in her arms. There is no credible evidence or news source to support the claim.
