This poster celebrates an attack on Sunday that again illustrates not only how much Hamas lies, but also its disregard for its own civilians.
Here's how Hamas described the fighting, as transcribed by the Times of India which has been uncritically parroting Hamas claims throughout the war:
Here's what really happened. Two IDF soldiers were killed in the fighting by friendly fire:
An initial investigation by the Israel Defense Forces into the deaths of two reservists in the central Gaza Strip on Sunday found that the pair were killed by so-called friendly fire.Master Sgt. (res.) Ido Aviv, 28, of the Yiftah Brigade’s 9232nd Battalion, and Master Sgt. (res.) Kalkidan Meharim, 37, of the Carmeli Brigade’s 223rd Battalion, were hit by shelling from a tank that had opened fire outside of its designated boundaries, according to the probe that was released Tuesday.The investigation found that the incident began as an IDF tank was hit by a roadside bomb near the Turkish Hospital in central Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor. Shortly after the blast, mortars and anti-tank missiles were launched by Hamas operatives toward troops in the corridor area.Amid an exchange of fire with the Hamas operatives, a tank of the Yiftah Brigade left an encampment and shelled a building in the area.The building had been outside of the tank force’s designated boundaries, according to the probe, meaning the soldiers were not supposed to open fire toward that area.Several troops, including the two reservists, were in the building when it was hit. Aviv and Meharim were declared dead, and two soldiers were wounded, including one seriously, according to the IDF.
The mine was real. It is possible that the mine was built with explosives from an unexploded bomb; this is something Hamas has done for years. Everything else Hamas claims - including a faked picture of an overturned tank - is a lie.
And media worldwide still repeat Hamas lies without caveats.
