Original title: The Israeli army denies issuing evacuation warnings to hospitals and schools in the Gaza Strip
According to news released by “Israel Today” in the early morning of the 21st local time, Agence France-Presse retracted its earlier report that Israel warned a hospital and five schools to evacuate, saying that the news contained “wrong information.”
Earlier on the 20th local time, Agence France-Presse reported that the Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated that they received a warning from the Israeli military that day, requiring all personnel at the Al-Quds Hospital in the Gaza Strip to evacuate immediately. The Israel Defense Forces later denied the claims, saying no such warning had been issued.
The report also cited a statement from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, which said Israel had asked it to evacuate five schools “as soon as possible.” This statement was also denied by the Israeli army.
Agence France-Presse has now withdrawn the report, saying that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East has not issued an official statement on this. The AFP report was reproduced by many news agencies and international media that day. (Headquarters reporter Yang Yuan)
