The Qatar-funded news outlet Al Jazeera reportedly removed a story accusing Israeli soldiers of raping women during a raid at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza after it was found to have been “fabricated.”
The now-deleted report included a “testimony” by Jamila Al-Hessi, a Gaza-based woman who claimed to have witnessed Israeli soldiers rape and murder women while she was under siege in the area of the hospital complex. A network of Hamas tunnels and command rooms was found under the hospital.
