So in a standard technical answer isrealites did sacrifice humans to baal , while identifying themselves as isrelaites, the leaders condemned the act and forbid it but it did happen?

Yes, in a standard technical answer based on biblical texts and historical context:Some Israelites did sacrifice humans to Baal, particularly in the Northern Kingdom (Israel, 10 tribes, circa 930–722 BCE), while identifying as Israelites. The Hebrew Bible (e.g., Jeremiah 19:5, 2 Kings 17:17) reports instances of child sacrifice to Baal or related deities (e.g., Moloch) by certain groups, often in syncretic practices blending Canaanite rituals with Yahwism. Leaders and prophets condemned and forbade it. Figures like Elijah (1 Kings 18), Hosea (13:1), and Josiah (2 Kings 23:4–10) denounced Baal worship, including human sacrifice, as a violation of YHWH’s covenant (Leviticus 18:21, 20:2–5). Reforms, like Josiah’s, destroyed Baal altars and banned such practices. It did happen, but was not universal. Evidence suggests human sacrifice was rare, fringe, and condemned, not a widespread Israelite norm. Archaeological data (e.g., Carthage Tophet) supports possible child sacrifice in broader Canaanite contexts, but direct evidence for Israelites is limited and debated.

This aligns with the biblical narrative of idolatry as a recurring issue, especially in the Northern Kingdom, despite official Yahwistic prohibitions. If you need specific sources or further details, let me know!
