Overview
- Jeremy Corbyn shared a video relaying an account he attributed to al‑Shifa’s director that the IDF delivered 60–70 boxes containing skulls and returned women’s bodies with organs removed.
- The video appeared on the We Are The Peace Instagram account, with Corbyn saying the message from the director reached him “last Thursday or Friday.”
- IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani rejected the story as a “wild blood libel” and said Israeli troops have not been near al‑Shifa hospital in months.
- The IDF stated it operates under international law and that any return of bodies to Gaza is coordinated through international mechanisms with Red Cross assistance.
- Corbyn’s comments drew immediate backlash over the severity and sourcing of the claim, set against long‑running disputes over al‑Shifa’s role and its director’s prior detention in Israel.
