Ba'al Hamon was a god worshiped by the Canaanites (early Levantine Semites). Some worshipers conflated him with Moloch/Melqart. This cult was carried over by the Phoenician colonists (Phoenicians were a northern subgroup of Canaanites) who founded Carthage. The names Hannibal, Hasdrubal, and Isabel/Jezebel refer to Ba'al. His cult is known to have included human sacrifice at one time, which is one of the reasons why the followers of Eli/Yahweh, as well as European pagans, condemned his cult.

Where is the concrete evidence of this?

Looks to me that nobody liked them and got the short end of the history.

Also human sacrifice is not that rare, we call them martyrs.
