Unveiling the Truth: Al-Shifa Hospital, Hamas Tunnels, and Israeli Propaganda

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Biden administration have claimed that Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza was used by Hamas as a military base, justifying Israel's attacks on civilian areas. However, the evidence presented so far, including videos and alleged tunnels, has been widely mocked and met with skepticism. It is known that Israel built tunnels and rooms under Al-Shifa in the 1980s, but this does not prove that Hamas used them for military purposes. International humanitarian law states that hospitals remain protected sites, even if there is doubt about their use. Israel's propaganda campaign to portray Al-Shifa as a Hamas command center has distracted from the larger issue of Israel's indiscriminate attacks on Gaza's civilian population.
