☆ Fact Check: 2013 Egypt hospital attack video shared as Gaza’s Al Shifa hospital
  + stars: | 2023-11-20 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
Video showing chaos with audible gunfire inside the Rabaa al-Adawiya hospital in Cairo, Egypt in August 2013, has been falsely shared online as showing Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) inside the Al Shifa hospital in Gaza in 2023. The miscaptioned video circulated online after Israeli troops entered the Al Shifa hospital on Nov. 15 after a days-long siege. Israeli forces say that the hospital covers tunnels used by the Islamist group Hamas, a claim that has been denied by the group, Reuters reported. “Israeli forces shooting inside al shifa hospital” read posts sharing the old video on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter (archived). The video, however, was uploaded to YouTube (archived) by Egyptian news outlet Rassd News Network (RNN) in mid-August 2013 and depicts shooting inside the Rabaa hospital.

Official accounts put the death toll at around 600 people, including several members of the security forces. Protesters accused the state of carrying out a mass slaughter; authorities claimed heavily armed demonstrators had attacked police. According to EIPR’s report, investigators at the time also said that the “Egyptian administration was also wrong in its policy of dispersing the gathering.”CNN has reached out to the interior ministry for comment about the EIPR report. Police “incrementally used alarms and tear gas, and did not resort to live ammunition until after several of its (security forces) members were killed and injured,” the summary said. “This wound and all its victims need to be mended,” the EIPR report said, quoting the recommendations.

☆ Rights groups appeal for justice over 2013 Egypt sit-in killings

A general view of Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque, the site of a sit-in ending in clashes in 2013, in Cairo August 10, 2014. The clearing of the Rabaa al-Adawiya sit-in in Cairo on Aug. 14, 2013 marked the escalation of a crackdown against supporters of overthrown Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Mursi. Rights groups say more than 800 people were killed as security forces stormed Rabaa al-Adawiya, one of two squares in the capital where protesters had been camped out for weeks. Amnesty International said: "States with influence on Egypt must echo the demands of survivors, victims' families and human rights defenders for truth, justice and reparation." Supporters of Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who led Mursi's ouster as army chief and became president in 2014, say security measures taken at the time were needed to stabilise Egypt.

Then at the age of 17, her mother encouraged her to learn "Maqamat" - the art of singing Arabic music melodies which would prepare her for Inshad chanting. Now 27, she is the founder of "Al Hoor" - an all female Islamic chanting troupe in Egypt. "I felt women were underrepresented in this field and I wanted us to take part in developing the art form of chanting," she said. Shaimaa El Nouby, another Egyptian female chanter, said she faced similar challenges. "I want to develop chanting as an art form while protecting the old schools of Inshad," she said.
