Israeli army publishes misleading footage meant to justify targeting of European Gaza Hospital
The Israeli army has released a video clip purporting to show a tunnel beneath the buildings of the European Gaza Hospital in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, which the military repeatedly targeted on Tuesday and today.
Al Jazeera’s Sanad verification unit found the images were not related to the hospital and did not provide any evidence supporting the claim of a tunnel at the site.
Sanad added that surveillance camera footage also showed that the army did not issue a warning before a strike on Tuesday or any measures to protect civilians, contrary to its official statement.
Ahh I wondered why I couldn't line it up better when making the comparison to the European hospital a page back, it's not even the right location.
Israeli army orders Palestinians to leave Al-Shifa Hospital, four schools in Gaza City

Gaza ministry rejects Israel’s allegations, forced displacement orders
The Ministry of Interior and National Security in Gaza has rejected Israeli claims used to justify forced displacement orders for parts of Gaza City.
Israel’s army earlier said it planned to attack several areas of the city because Hamas was operating there.
“This evening, the Israeli occupation army issued threats to citizens to evacuate large areas and neighborhoods in the south and west of Gaza City, where large numbers of displaced persons are concentrated in shelters,” the ministry said in a statement.
“The allegations made by the occupation army in its announcement threatening civilians are false and baseless. They are merely false claims and attempts to justify its crime of displacing civilians from their homes as part of the occupation’s policy of pressuring civilians.”
The ministry added that it holds Israel responsible for the forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza, which it said constitutes “a crime that violates all rules of international law”.
