Israel’s Defence Forces (the IDF) has released intercepted conversations, claiming to be from Hamas operatives acknowledging the strike on the al-Ahli Arab Hospital had been caused by a misfire from Palestinian militants. As part of a package of information released by Israel to deny its responsibility for the attack, the IDF posted a conversation between two Hamas operatives. “It’s from us?” asks a first operative. “It looks like it. They are saying that the shrapnel from the missile is local shrapnel and not like Israeli shrapnel,” says the second operative.
