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.
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, I don’t doubt that 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.
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.
