Garbage media outlets like CNN and the BBC are running with a complete lie made up by Hamas about a Palestinian massacre by Israelis that never happened at a humanitarian aid distribution site:

They’ve since update the headline to say 31 Palestinians were killed.

But this never happened, according to multiple sources. In fact, CNN even quotes the agency who runs the humanitarian site as saying it never happened:

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which runs the site, insisted: “There was no gunfire in the (distribution) center and also not in the surrounding area.”

In a statement earlier Sunday, GHF said: “All aid was distributed today without incident. We have heard that these fake reports have been actively fomented by Hamas. They are untrue and fabricated.”

Yet they still run with this headline based on Hamas lies in their article. Unreal.

The Chief Political Analyst for N12 News writes:

False reports spread like wildfire this morning that the IDF killed over 30 Gazans at one of the new aid distribution centers in the strip.

Let’s break down what the media reported, what the IDF did—and didn’t say—and what actually happened.

Quoting the Palestine Red Crescent Society, CNN wrote: “‘Crowds of citizens headed to receive food aid’” from a site in the Rafah area, when Israeli forces opened fire,” leaving at least 26 Palestinians dead.

Ok, and where did the number come from? Hamas—as it always does. Speaking to the AFP, Hamas spokesman Mahmud Bassal said: “The number of martyrs from the massacre at the American aid center in Rafah has risen to at least 22, with more than 120 wounded, including children.”

As of writing, Hamas has raised the number to 31.

And the media ran with it—because why question Hamas when you can blame the Jews?

There’s just one problem: Security camera footage from the aid distribution site at the time of the alleged massacre was released.

Watch it for yourself in the reply to this post: You’ll see no shooting and no injures.

IDF soldiers in the area also made clear: Not only was there no shooting, but they were prohibited from firing at armed men near the Salah a-Din Highway—because there were thousands of Gazans in their vicinity.

And there’s another problem: The IDF responded to the accusations, but only five hours after reports of the massacre—which were spread by the world’s largest media outlets—first surfaced.

What did the military say? “At this time, we are unaware of injuries caused by IDF troops’ fire within the [humanitarian aid] distribution site,” adding that “the matter is still under review.”

While such delays are often due to ensuring the correct procedures take place—not incompetence—not for the first time in this war, the IDF has responded to grave accusations that carry international implications with too little, too late.

And below is the security footage:

Remember when Hamas lied about the hospital attack by Israel and the media ran with these big numbers of Palestinians wounded and killed, only to get massive amounts of egg on their face because it turned out to be a rocket from Islamic Jihad that landed in the hospital parking lot?

You’d think they’d learn from these lessons, but they don’t. They continue to treat Hamas-run agencies in Gaza as if they are legitimate, credible sources.

And what do these lies by these big media organizations do? They foment more anger toward Israel. I’d be willing to bet violent protests are already being planned because of these lie by CNN and the BBC.
