Israel said Hamas killed 19-year-old army conscript Noa Marciano. The military also published video of what it described as a tunnel beneath the Shifa compound. Hamas has denied that tunnels are located in civilian infrastructure.

JERUSALEM, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Israel stepped up accusations of Hamas abuses at the Gaza Strip’s biggest hospital on Sunday, saying a captive soldier had been executed and two foreign hostages held at a site that has been a focus of its devastating six-week-old offensive.

      Reposting my response to you on the other thread for visibility.

      To be fair, Al Jazeera is blatantly anti-Israel, so I wouldn’t trust their analysis without other corroborating sources. Regardless, the evidence the IDF presented for that particular video was far from conclusive, so it’s certainly possible that particular entrance wasn’t to the Hamas tunnel network.

      I also don’t doubt that nurse video is fake, but the source of the video is far from definitive. Many parties in this conflict benefit from muddling the waters with fake videos.

      Edit: For the sake of not reliving the whole argument when it got into attacks. Here’s the last real response I had.

      “From what I’ve read, the Arabic Language Twitter account for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs reposted that video and deleted it after learning it was false. That is not necessarily the same as the IDF creating a fake video.”

    So what’s the average time before these things are disproven? Couple of days now?

      So the claim is that the hospital is complicit for treating wounded people? Should Hamas have just left them to die instead?

        Was that claim made?

        I think what this footage shows is that hospital staff were not truthful in their statements about having no knowledge of Hamas being in the hospital.

        However, I think it’s very understandable that they would lie to the world about this. The hospital staff live day to day under the control of Hamas. Anyone who speaks up against Hamas risks their life by doing so. If the medical workers want to continue to save lives, they cannot speak out against Hamas.

      I mean, if lemmy.world is keen on spreading unverifiable propaganda (potentially true, potentially false):

      Noa Marciano was killed in an Israeli airstrike. Her wounds are consistent with airstrike collateral, not an execution.

        I’ve not seen a reputable source verifying that claim. Care to share where you got your information?

        Edit: Are you also claiming the CCTV footage is fake? Just trying to wrap my head around what you are saying.

      MBFC doesn’t even have a methodology for scoring. There’s no formula and it’s entirely a subjective grading.

      Their scores are worse than useless
