(Note: Some links in this story include distressing footage)A compilation of CCTV footage showing a hospital being bombed in Aleppo, Syria, in 2016, has been shared online to falsely claim it shows Israel attacking a Gazan hospital in 2023. “ISRAEL was CAUGHT on camera BOMBING the Al-Sadaqa HOSPITAL,” reads a post sharing the dated video on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. Out of the nine clips in the social media video, Reuters found eight in the AMC compilation. The first clip (0:00-0:03) in the social media video can be seen from 0:49-1:01 seconds of the AMC montage. The video dates to 2016, when it was shared after a hospital was bombed in Aleppo, Syria.

On Tuesday an Israeli strike at the Jabalia refugee camp in north Gaza killed dozens of people according to hospital authorities, leaving a moonscape of craters. In Khan Younis, Farida Abu Azzam was taking her husband to hospital for his cancer treatment. In a shelter for displaced people in a U.N. school in Khan Younis, Salwa Najar stood by her son Majed's bedside, wiping his face. A cousin had taken them to Hilal Hospital in Khan Younis, the biggest city in the southern part of the tiny enclave. "Gaza hospitals are crowded with injured people who are filling the hospital beds," she said.

Several times we've had to set up surgical spaces in the corridors and even sometimes in the hospital waiting areas," said Doctor Mohammed al-Run. Gaza's Health Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qidra said the main generators for both the Indonesian Hospital and for al-Shifa Hospital, in Gaza City, could be switched off late on Wednesday. Last week, the Indonesian Hospital nearly ran out of fuel and had to cut electricity in much of the facility. Indonesian Hospital has about 250 patients at present, Masry said. Because it is close to frontlines in northern Gaza, the hospital has received many of those caught in Israel's bombardment and advance, he said.
