Hamas on Tuesday denied using hospitals in the Gaza Strip for military purposes, dismissing such Israeli accusations as "lies," according to the media office of the Gaza-ruling Palestinian faction.
What the Israeli army presented regarding the Al-Rantisi Children's Hospital in Gaza City were "videos made in a contradictory, unprofessional, and illogical manner," and included "composite and fabricated scenes that mislead public opinion," the media office said in a statement.
It accused the Israeli army of "making lies ="https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001485334/joe-biden-gaza-hospitals-must-be-protected">and practicing misinformation< and incitement in preparation for destroying hospitals ... over the heads of patients, medical staff, and displaced people."
Meanwhile, the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza said what the Israeli army showed and termed as an arsenal located beneath the hospital was a "poor charade," denying any involvement with the displayed weapons and items that Israel claimed for holding hostages.
