Doron Kadosh - IDF Radio:
In several major international media outlets, including the New York Times and Reuters, the unusual Israeli attack on Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis began to make headlines, with reports that the IDF was killing Palestinians inside hospitals.
- But the IDF spokesman did not bother to issue a statement regarding the attack until this moment.
- I checked all his pages dedicated to the international media in English, and found no reference to the operation.
We here in Israel know very well what is inside Nasser Hospital, and we know that there is a Hamas facility there, but the international media rushed to announce in the headlines about the bombing of a hospital, without anyone bothering to clarify that the target was a Hamas interrogation facility, which was used to interrogate collaborators with Israel.
The attack took place a little after midnight, and about 6 hours have passed since it was carried out and the news about it spread in Gaza.
During these hours, the Palestinians worked to publish scenes of the bombed medical facilities and the extent of the destruction in the hospital rooms.
On the other hand, the IDF spokesman is silent, and does not bother to provide clarifications.
- I know that the IDF spokesperson has long since stopped being interested in providing clarifications to the Israeli public, nor has he stopped inviting the Israeli media for field trips to Gaza or Lebanon for months, but has the neglect also reached the level of media coverage directed at the international community?
