Did any IDF official social media page or channel release such a statement over the Gaza hospital blast? We decided to do a fact-check on this.

Fact Check

Inactive Social Media Account: The social media account in question, "Israel Defense Forces in Arabic," is inactive. Official statements and communications from the IDF are typically made through their verified social media channels and official websites. The inactivity and unverified nature of the mentioned account raise suspicions about the authenticity of the claim.

IDF's Official Statements: The official social media channels and statements from the Israel Defense Forces do not acknowledge any deliberate airstrike on a hospital due to medical equipment shortages. The IDF has consistently maintained that its actions are in response to security threats, particularly from Hamas, and they have stated that the recent blast in a hospital in the Gaza Strip happened due to a misfiring of a rocket launched by Hamas.

Mainstream Media: There have been no reports from reputable mainstream media sources confirming the alleged statement attributed to the IDF. The media plays a crucial role in reporting such events, and a claim of this magnitude would likely be widely covered if it were accurate.

An attack on Gaza hospital, al-Ahli al-Arabi, has resulted in the tragic loss of hundreds of lives and has further intensified the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
