The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip slams the IOF spokesperson's claims about Al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital as “a stupid charade" devoid of evidence.

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip confirmed, on Tuesday, that the Israeli occupation forces' claims that Hamas exploited Al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital are "a stupid charade for which there is not a single piece of evidence that deserves a response.”

According to the Ministry, "The occupation considered the presence of Pampers diapers in a children’s hospital housing displaced Palestinians as exceptional evidence. What kind of disregard for people’s minds and the minds of the world is this?”

Moreover, the ministry underscored that "an observer of the body language of the occupation army spokesperson when he talks about the hospital confirms beyond a reasonable doubt that it is a charade," calling on "all those who know about body language to refute it."

The Ministry further indicated that the basement that the occupation soldier, shown in the video, spoke about, is a "basement found in the design of the hospital and includes the administration and hospital warehouses."

Here's how the Israeli propaganda has been failing miserably.

After the aggression against the Strip began, the basement "became a shelter for displaced people fleeing the bombing," which, in turn, "required providing some bathrooms in it, as was done in all the hospitals that welcomed displaced people [fleeing bombardment], being a humanitarian need."

"The evacuation of the hospital took place under the barrel of tanks and occupation rifles, so why were none of the alleged Resistance fighters arrested or captives found?," stressed the Ministry.

As for the "Hamas tunnels", the Ministry underscored that "what the occupation claimed to be a tunnel actually lies outside the hospital, so why linking it to the hospital and what does the hospital have to do with it?"

The Ministry recalled the occupation's claims about a nozzle, which it had shown when talking about Hamad Hospital, and claimed that it was the nozzle of a tunnel, stressing that the hospital's engineer had refuted the allegations and indicated that the nozzle was intended for a fuel tank.

It also explained that the occupation showed alleged weapons of unknown sources and paused them in such an organized manner, "which confirms that they are part of the charade, as it is unreasonable for the Resistance fighters to have them organized in such a way amid these harsh war circumstances."

In conclusion, the Ministry emphasized that the schedule shown in the occupation video, claimed to be a captives scheme, is in fact the hospital team's rotations, a regular schedule administratively applied in all hospitals.
