Numerous news publications instantly latched onto and promoted accusations from the Hamas-run Palestinian Health Ministry on Tuesday which falsely claimed that Israel killed 500+ people after bombing a hospital inside Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/idf-releases-audio-of-hamas-admitting-islamic-jihad-fired-the-rocket-that-struck-near-hospital">released</a> evidence showing that the explosion was not caused by an aerial bomb and did not even strike the hospital — it exploded in a parking lot. It also released intercepted communications from Hamas terrorists where they said the explosion was caused by a rocket fired by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
U.S. Intelligence later confirmed that it had &#8220;satellite and other infrared data showing a launch of a rocket or missile from Palestinian fighter positions within Gaza,&#8221; according to a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/18/us/politics/hospital-gaza-us-intelligence.html">report</a> from The New York Times. These same systems were the first to detect that Russia shot down a Malaysian passenger plane over Ukraine in 2014, the report said.
&#8220;While we continue to collect information, our current assessment, based on analysis of overhead imagery, intercepts and open-source information, is that Israel is not responsible for the explosion at the hospital in Gaza yesterday,&#8221; said Adrienne Watson, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council.
Some of the legacy publications that promoted in headlines and on social media the lies from Hamas about the explosion included:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://archive.ph/zX5te">Bloomberg News</a>: &#8220;Hundreds of Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit a Gaza City hospital, according to officials in the territory, in what would make it the deadliest bombing since Oct. 7.&#8221;</li>
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/AP/status/1714336328312144180">The Associated Press</a>: &#8220;BREAKING: The Gaza Health Ministry says at least 500 people killed in an explosion at a hospital that it says was caused by an Israeli airstrike.&#8221;</li>
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/IDF/status/1714409021992521983">CNN</a>: &#8220;Hundreds killed in Israeli strike on Gaza hospital, Palestinian officials say.&#8221;</li>

<li><a href="https://twitter.com/IDF/status/1714409021992521983">The New York Times</a>: &#8220;Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say.&#8221;</li>
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/IDF/status/1714409021992521983">The Wall Street Journal</a>: &#8220;Israeli Airstrike on Gaza Hospital Kills More Than 500, Palestinian Officials Say.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
The New York Times and CNN were also caught using images from different incidents that showed buildings that had been completely destroyed.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
In one of its first tweets about the bomb at al-Ahli al-Arab hospital, The New York Times used a photo from a different bombing site. 
I’ve traced the photo to Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, which is approximately 25 km from Gaza City where the hospital is located. <a href="https://t.co/TJj2HNU9mx">https://t.co/TJj2HNU9mx</a> <a href="https://t.co/VHg8lnjaYP">pic.twitter.com/VHg8lnjaYP</a>

Hi <a href="https://twitter.com/andersoncooper?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@andersoncooper</a>, why are you showing footage of completely destroyed buildings and rubble when talking about the hospital parking lot explosion when neither of those things are present there? <a href="https://t.co/WALnzuA2XF">https://t.co/WALnzuA2XF</a>

Footage from ground level showed that none of the buildings were destroyed and that there were no impact craters from an aerial bomb.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Daylight. The Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza still stands. Local footage shows all buildings intact. There are no rescue workers pulling bodies from rubble. There are no bodies. There is no rubble. 
A tragedy happened. Innocents died. But it wasn&#39;t as reported yesterday. <a href="https://t.co/5EEoLV4q5X">pic.twitter.com/5EEoLV4q5X</a>

Some Democrats who have an extensive history of anti-Semitism also promoted the false claims.
&#8220;Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that,&#8221; Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) posted on social media. &#8220;@POTUS this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire &amp; help de-escalate. Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many Palestinian Americans and Muslims (sic) Americans like me. We will remember where you stood.&#8221;

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) also parroted the false claims to millions of her followers on X: &#8220;Bombing a hospital is among the gravest of war crimes. The IDF reportedly blowing up one of the few places the injured and wounded can seek medical treatment and shelter during a war is horrific. @POTUS needs to push for an immediate ceasefire to end this slaughter.&#8221;

On Wednesday, Tlaib and Omar were <a href="https://twitter.com/McCormackJohn/status/1714691494672556191">confronted</a> by a <a href="https://twitter.com/McCormackJohn/status/1714693572178399549">reporter</a> from National Review about their claims and refused to answer questions.
