The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

The hospital was being used as a hideout by Hamas terrorists, necessitating military intervention to prevent its exploitation. However, the IDF securely evacuated civilians, patients, and medical personnel and provided medical supplies before initiating the attack on Kamal Adwan and arresting suspected militants. Israel must destroy the Hamas network if it has to get the hostages back.

Pro-Palestine narrative

The raid violates international humanitarian law protecting medical facilities and personnel and highlights a systematic dismantling of Gaza's healthcare system. The forced evacuation of patients and detention of medical staff has left 75K Palestinians in northern Gaza without access to essential healthcare. Israel must be stopped from turning hospitals into battlegrounds.
