The photos came just after Israel ordered mass expulsions from six heavily populated areas, threatening to bomb them.
The Israeli military also posted a video claiming to show a tunnel under the European Hospital in Khan Younis. The army said it targeted the hospital to assassinate Mohammed Al-Sinwar, a senior Hamas commander.
But this claim is a lie. The building shown in the video is not the European Hospital. Its design does not match, as confirmed by open-source investigators using Google Maps and aerial imagery.
Israeli Haaretz also reported that Israeli security officials admitted the documentation was false. The army offered no evidence to support its claim, yet used the lie to justify bombing a medical facility.
This is not an isolated incident. In a previous case, Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari pointed at a hospital duty roster in Arabic and falsely claimed the listed names were of Hamas fighters. The document was simply a staff schedule at Rantisi Children’s Hospital.
In other videos, Israeli forces were caught planting weapons inside hospital rooms and MRI machines, in attempts to rationalize deadly raids.
Late Tuesday night, Israeli warplanes bombed the courtyard and surrounding area of the European Gaza Hospital. According to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, dozens of high-impact missiles struck the hospital zone, killing more than 35 civilians, including entire families.
Eyewitnesses described terrifying scenes. Fire engulfed the yard, debris flew through the air, and civilians screamed in panic.
Rights groups say Israel’s repeated fabrication of evidence and targeting of civilian infrastructure amount to war crimes and a deliberate campaign to dismantle Gaza’s last remaining lifelines.
