"Following the bombing of Al-Ahly Baptist Hospital in Gaza, Israel disavowed the incident and blamed the Palestinian resistance factions in the Gaza Strip. Israeli media and accounts asserted that the bombing was caused by a missile launched by the Islamic Jihad movement that accidentally struck a hospital parking lot. They also argued this happened after a missile barrage was fired from a nearby cemetery, causing the massacre that took the lives of 471 victims instantly." - Misbar

#Exclusive 🧵| In the wake of Israel's failed attempt to blame Hamas for the Baptist Hospital attack, its media channels have adopted a new narrative that seems to question the very reality of the massacre, hinting it might be a fabricated incident.
