It's the same old tactic we've seen in news reports since Oct. 7th: first the lies against Israel, then the truth:

A story on Al Jazeera’s website accusing Israeli soldiers of raping women during the attack against Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists inside Shifa Hospital has been reportedly deleted.

The story was reportedly live for 24 hours before it was taken down.

Qatar-based news organisation Al Jazeera has not officially referred to the retraction, Jerusalem Post wrote.

Al Jazeera columnist and former director Yasser Abuhilalah tweeted: “It was revealed through Hamas investigations that the story of the rape of women in Al-Shifa Hospital was fabricated…

“The woman who spoke about rape justified her exaggeration and incorrect talk by saying that the goal was to arouse the nation’s fervor and brotherhood.”

Well that's OK then.
