The Israeli army on Friday disputed Palestinian accounts that a baby had died of tear gas inhalation during protests on the Gaza border.
"This is another instance of Hamas fake news," Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus said, an army spokesman, referring to the Palestinian Islamist movement which runs the Gaza Strip.
"We got reports... from a doctor that said that the baby had a preexisting heart condition and that was most likely the cause of death," he told AFP, without naming the physician or explaining how the information was obtained.
"We don't have any additional evidence, the body of that poor baby is in Gaza... There is no way of finding out for sure," Conricus said.
