I keep wondering if this had anything to do with it. It was a major live event on Israeli television and must have had a substantial impact on public support for the offensive.
I'll pass the question to ashesofautumn, who either is now or has recently been in Israel. But one would hope that the Israelis would have more sense than to fall for a fairly obvious piece of war propaganda. (Yes, children do die in war - so do teen-agers, young adults, middle-aged, ageing, elderly and decrepit persons. The issue is what the war is meant to achieve, and whether it can be achieved.)
