Israeli Army May Have Reorganized Weapons at “Al-Shifa”

Middle East

Despite Israeli insistence on the presence of weapons inside the Al-Shifa hospital in the central Gaza Strip, independent sources confirm that so far no weapons or anything that could raise suspicion have been found inside the hospital.

CNN conducted an analysis of the video and concluded that the Israeli army transferred weapons to the hospital, noting that there is a clear contradiction between the first video released by the Israeli army about Al-Shifa hospital and the video next, shot during the operation. foreign media visit to the building.

A video released by the Israeli army on November 15 showed what it said were Hamas weapons found in Al-Shifa hospital. This video shows more weapons than later videos shot by foreign news crews, indicating that the weapons may have been moved or placed there by the Israeli military before the international news crews arrived.

CNN compared footage posted by the Israeli army on the Internet with footage taken by Fox News, which was granted access to the site in the hours after the hospital assault. Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst visited the hospital as darkness fell, saying in his report: “It’s the middle of the night.”

In his video, Yingst showed a bag located behind the MRI machine inside the hospital, and two AK-47 rifles on top. This contradicts previously shot Israeli army video, which only showed an AK-47 rifle, and according to CNN, it is “unclear where the second weapon” of the AK-47 came from and why. previous IDF clip.

The Israeli army also posted a photo online of the weapons allegedly found in Al-Shifa hospital. The file name of this photo indicates that it was taken at 5:35 pm, which means it was taken after the IDF visit to the MRI site, but was almost certainly taken before the Fox News crew arrived on the scene.

According to CNN, “it is possible that the weapons were moved somewhere before the TV crews arrived, but this does not explain why more weapons appeared when the press arrived, compared to the original Israeli army video.”

Interestingly, the BBC was granted access to the hospital the following day, 16 November. When she was photographed there, two AK-47 rifles were still visible on top of the bag inside the MRI room.
