- The IDF often lies when the truth makes them look bad, as in the case of the murder of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh: first they claimed she was shot by Palestinians, then that she was caught in crossfire, until it finally emerged that she had been killed by an Israeli sniper
- The IDF often attacks hospitals
- The IDF warned people to evacuate the hospital repeatedly in the days leading up to the attack
- IDF affiliates initially claimed credit for the attack
- The IDF posted video “proving” it was a failed rocket launch, then removed the video without acknowledging it when people pointed out that the timestamps didn’t line up
- The IDF released an inculpatory recording of Hamas that has since been widely discredited
- To the extent that they are able to investigate, many independent organizations have not found evidence supporting the IDF’s claims
- The US is resisting calls to allow independent investigations
- The IDF has targeted other hospitals since the air strike
