Hamas Lied: Number Of Estimated Deaths At Gaza Hospital Hit By Rocket Lower Than Palestinian Claims, Reports Say | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The Hamas-run Palestinian Health Ministry claimed earlier this week that Israel targeted a hospital in Gaza, dropped a bomb on it, and killed more than 500 people.

    Democrats, legacy news publications, and notorious anti-Semitic propagandists instantly made the claims go viral Tuesday night on social media.

    Every aspect of what the Palestinians claimed happened has effectively been debunked through evidence and refuted in statements released by Israeli officials, U.S. officials, and now European officials.

    The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released evidence showing that the explosion was not caused by an aerial bomb and did not strike the hospital - it exploded in a parking lot. It also released intercepted communications from Hamas terrorists who said the explosion was caused by a rocket fired by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

    U.S. Intelligence later confirmed that it had "satellite and other infrared data showing a launch of a rocket or missile from Palestinian fighter positions within Gaza," according to a report from The New York Times.

    AFP reported that a European intelligence agency told the publication: "There wasn't 200 or even 500 deaths, more likely between 10 and 50."

    AFP later reported that new estimates from the U.S. Intelligence Community paint the number of deaths at "far fewer" than what the Palestinians claimed.

    A U.S. intelligence assessment viewed by the AFP said that the number of estimated deaths was at the "low end of the 100-to-300 spectrum."

    Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs official Lior Haiat said that an explosion from the Palestinian terrorist rocket tragically killed "several dozen people."

    "And in addition to everything, there is also a central media angle to the event: dozens of international media outlets, including leading and important ones, abandoned basic journalistic ethics and published incorrect, misleading and false information originating from a campaign planned by the terrorist organization Hamas," he wrote. "The terrorist organization Hamas does not have to use any means to promote its propaganda and its false messages. Hamas uses the international media to lie to world public opinion."

    Haiat noted that many reporters abandoned methods that are used to verify information before reports are published, noting that "these false publications resulted in regional riots, violence and incitement to murder."

    "Any such irresponsible publication is a journalistic failure of whoever published it, when his/her only source of information is a terrorist organization that is worse than ISIS!" he added.

26 days after the October 7th Terror attacks on Israel, where over 1400 Jewish men, women and children were gruesomely murdered, and hundreds more made hostage: Should the Biden /Harris administration finally state that the administration's primary Middle East negotiating partner, Iran, is behind the funding and strategy of the aggressors, the Hamas Terrorists, or continue to take the more moderate position of "Don't," which is clearly not working?

  Yes, name Iran as the funding /strategy culprit, and begin to enforce the President Trump era sanctions to END Iran's ability to prosecute this war against Israel and the United States.

  No, Iran is a valuable partner in the motives of the Biden / Harris administration, and must not be named as the culprit and our enemy.

  I have larger concerns just to survive in this economy.

If a top, highly paid official in a city owns 38 slum properties with multiple city violations should he be fired immediately or does this have no bearing on his job?

  Fire him immediately ... exit stage right.

  This is his own business and the city shouldn't care.

  I'm high right now and don't care either way.
