On February 16th, Israeli forces raided Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza Strip. The hospital is the largest still functioning in the area and was used by Hamas as a shield to launch attacks on Israel. During the raid, several people were killed or injured including at least one doctor and a patient. Many Palestinians who had sought shelter there were forced to flee once again due to combat.
The Israeli military said it had detained dozens of people but did not say why. Hamas denied any charges that they held hostages in the hospital, but videos posted on social media showed chaos and fear inside the damaged, smoke-filled facility punctuated by automatic gunfire, explosions and shouting. The specific casualty claims could not be immediately confirmed.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it reports that Israeli special forces raided Nasser Hospital and found no hostages there. However, the hospital was under full control of Israel at the time of the raid and had been for days. This means that any bodies reported as being inside were likely to be those of dead hostages who had previously been held by Hamas in Gaza. Secondly, it reports that Israeli forces found no evidence to support their claim that they had taken control of Nasser Hospital after finding credible intelligence about hostage-taking there. This is also false as Israel has a history of committing human rights abuses against Palestinians and other Arab citizens in Gaza.
