Meanwhile, following the attack on the hospital, many world leaders decried the airstrike that targeted civilians, including French President Emmanuel Macron, Jordan King Abdullah II, UN human rights chief Volker Turk, and African Union chief Moussa Faki Mahamat.

Israeli officials and the army have been releasing many statements to cover up their attack on Al-Ahli hospital.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad failed rocket: 

Israeli army spokesperson Brig. Gen. Daniel Hagari claimed on Wednesday that a Palestinian Islamic Jihad failed rocket was the reason behind the Gaza hospital attack on Tuesday night.

Furthermore, a fake audio was released by the Israeli army in which it fabricated recordings of Islamic Jihad members to claim they were "responsible for the explosion."

The army also posted fake footage to verify their theory about the failed rocket.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad released a statement rejecting Israel's claims that it hit Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza, Anadolu Agency reported.

Hamas base under hospital:

Israeli YouTuber Hananya Naftali posted on his X account shortly after the airstrike on Al-Ahli hospital reportedly saying that Israeli struck a Hamas base, which he claimed to exist under the Gaza hospital.

However, after the Israeli army's denial of striking the Gaza hospital, Naftali released another post that he was wrong in his earlier remarks.

He wrote: "Earlier today I shared a report that was published on @reuters about the bombing at the hospital in Gaza which falsely stated Israel struck the hospital."

Naftali maintained: " I mistakenly shared this information in a since deleted post in which I referenced Hamas’ routine use of hospitals to store weapons caches and conduct terrorist activity. I apologize for this error."

"As the IDF does not bomb hospitals, I assumed Israel was targeting one of the Hamas bases in Gaza."

"It is known that Hamas is using civilians as human shields, it is a war crime and a crime against humanity. This should be the focus."
