Statement on the claim that “Hamas hit the hospital in Gaza”

Statement on the claim that “Hamas hit the hospital in Gaza”

The al-Zaytoun neighbourhood in the north of Gaza is an area where hundreds of civilians have been killed in days of intense Israeli bombardment.

Examining the footage of the bombing of al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza's al-Zaytoun neighbourhood, it becomes obvious that the ammunition that had the effect of destroying the area was not the type that Hamas had previously employed.

The claim that "Hamas, not Israel, carried out the attack" on the hospital is false. It was found that the images shared by Israeli propaganda accounts claiming that a "Hamas missile hit the hospital" were from 2022. In a recent statement, the Israeli army demanded the immediate evacuation of hospitals, alleging that they were being used as shelters.

The claim that "Gaza's official account admits that Hamas carried out the hospital attack"

The claim that "Gaza's official account admits that Hamas carried out the hospital attack" shared on some social media accounts is false. The "Gaza Report" account cited as the basis for the claim is not Gaza's or any other Palestinian organisation's official account. The account was found to have been used for manipulation. Unfounded claims should not be given credit.
