Israel have revealed what a Hamas terror base hidden underneath Gaza's biggest hospital looks like, with a video showing a labyrinth of underground tunnels and war rooms used as main HQ for militant group. An 'intelligence-based illustration' released by the Jewish nation's military show a sinister network of corridors and rooms deep below the buildings where innocents are being treated. The IDF claim the Shifa Hospital - the largest medical complex in the Gaza Strip - in fact harbours the HQ of the terrorist organisation. Pictures show armouries, storage rooms and armed guards patrolling the web of passageways. In another...

On Oct. 17, The Times published news of an explosion at a hospital in Gaza City, leading its coverage with claims by Hamas government officials that an Israeli airstrike was the cause and that hundreds of people were dead or injured. The report included a large headline at the top of The Times’s website. Israel subsequently denied being at fault and blamed an errant rocket launch by the Palestinian faction group Islamic Jihad, which has in turn denied responsibility. American and other international officials have said their evidence indicates that the rocket came from Palestinian fighter positions. The Times’s initial...

The British media body, which on the day of the attack on the hospital in Gaza presented the claim of Hamas, published a correction • "This does not represent our coverage", they said in their message • The CNN network investigated and determined: "The explosion - did not result from an Israeli attack"

Corrupt corporate media outlets like The New York Times scrambled on Thursday to justify their role in disseminating terrorist talking points to the world without scrutiny.“After Hospital Blast, Headlines Shift With Changing Claims,” one of the outlet’s Thursday headlines reads.NYT acknowledges that it was one of the “many Western news organizations” that regurgitated the unsubstantiated lie (sourced directly from the Hamas-controlled Gaza strip) that Israel killed hundreds by bombing a Gaza hospital.Even though there was plenty of evidence absolving the Jewish state of the alleged war crime, the publication made no effort to issue retractions, print corrections, or even apologize...

The IDF releases drone footage of the Gaza City hospital this morning that shows very limited damage to the hospital itself and no crater in the parking lot that was hit. The lack of a crater indicates that the source of the blast was not an IDF strike." ...

About ten days ago, after the Hamas attacks in Israel, Drew Holden had a threat about the worst of the hack media takes. The "journalism" that followed Palestine's claims of Israel attacking a hospital in Gaza and killing hundreds of people might even put that to shame, which was a high bar to clear. Holden (@DrewHolden360) has another thread chock full of examples of media malpractice following reports that were more concerned with setting a narrative instead of publishing factual information: One of those threads I knew was coming, knew it’d be bad, and it’s still worse than I thought...

The New York Times reportedly edited a headline twice on Tuesday about a blast that blew up a Gaza hospital, changing the title each time to reflect less blame against Israel for the tragic explosion. After the blast, multiple pieces of evidence emerged from the Israel Defense Forces and the media that suggested the blast was an errant rocket fired by Hamas, not an Israeli airstrike. As the evidence came to light, the Times altered its headline.

Iran's foreign minister declared on Tuesday that 'time is OVER' for Israel, as Joe Biden arrived in Tel Aviv to try and calm a rapidly-spiraling situation, with anti-Israel protests flaring up across the region. An air strike on a Gaza hospital on Tuesday evening, killing at least 500 people according to Palestinian authorities, enraged people around the world. Israel and Palestinians both blame each other for the atrocity. Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed terrorist group based in Lebanon, called for 'a day of unprecedented anger' against Israel, while Libya's foreign ministry accused the Jewish state of 'war crimes and genocide'. Demonstrators in...

The IDF said that an operative analysis found that a rocket fired by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist movement appeared to have caused the explosion at the Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City in which dozens of people were reported killed by the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry. The explosion was reported at the same time that the Islamic Jihad announced that it had launched a barrage of rockets from the Strip toward Israel.

An Israeli TV station has released new footage which it says appears to show rockets fired over a hospital in Gaza just moments before an explosion killed hundreds last night. It comes after Israel's military shared footage and analysis which they say shows they were not responsible for the horrifying blast at the Al-Ahli Hospital on Tuesday. A video clip from a livestream, aired by Israel's Channel 12 News, shows a salvo of rockets being launched before explosions rock an area claimed to be the medical centre.

Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was amongst the first to rush to blame Israel for a deadly explosion at the Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday. In the hours afterwards Trudeau reportedly called the situation “absolutely unacceptable.” Speaking in French, he told reporters that “it’s not legal” to bomb a hospital.

Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) hastened to social media in the hours after a deadly explosion wracked a Gaza Strip hospital on Tuesday, pointing her finger at Israel as the perpetrator. Without pausing to check and confirm sources as the original reports first came in, she said on X – formerly Twitter – that “Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that.”

Al Jazeera correspondent Dorsa Jabbari reported that “at least half a dozen” cities in Iran have seen protests break out in the wake of the hospital attack. From her vantage point in the capital Tehran, she explained that demonstrators moved from the city’s Palestine Square to the French Embassy, where they chanted against the violence. “There is the sense that this was something catastrophic,” Jabbari explained. “The Supreme Leader of Iran spoke earlier on Tuesday and he said once the Muslim countries, the Muslim nation and the people become angry, it is very hard to prevent them from expressing their...

John Kirby, the White House’s National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, told reporters aboard Air Force Once en route to Israel on Tuesday evening that President Joe Biden would have “tough questions” for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when they met Wednesday morning. Biden’s trip was intended to show solidarity for Israel in its war against the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, which attacked Israel without provocation Oct. 7 and murdered 1,400 peoople. But after Palestinians — and their allies — blamed Israel for an explosion at a hospital in Gaza City that reportedly killed hundreds of people, Biden appeared...

I am outraged and deeply saddened by the explosion at the Al Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza, and the terrible loss of life that resulted. Immediately upon hearing this news, I spoke with King Abdullah II of Jordan, and Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel and have directed my national security team to continue gathering information about what exactly happened. The United States stands unequivocally for the protection of civilian life during conflict and we mourn the patients, medical staff and other innocents killed or wounded in this tragedy.

In perhaps the biggest news of the Israeli-Hamas war since the initial attacks on October 7th, claims are circulating that the Israeli Air Force bombed a hospital in Gaza. But like the claim that Israel bombed a highway some days ago that was debunked through video analysis, there appears to be more to this story. Here are some of the initial videos and statements being made.🚨JUST IN: The moment an alleged Israeli Air Force struck the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in the Gaza Strip a few minutes ago.Some are alleging the rocket could have been a failed Hamas rocket, however we...
