The clip shared on IDF official channels shows the interrogation of a man named as Tarek Abu Shaluf, who Israel claims is a PIJ spokesman and was among 500 militants arrested amid the IDF's operation in Gaza's al-Shifa hospital last month. It is unclear whether he was aware the conversation was being recorded, or whether he was speaking under duress. Abu Shaluf is seen telling officers from Israel's Military Intelligence Directorate that the blast at al-Ahli hospital in October was caused by 'a local rocket', before going on to declare: 'We said it was Israeli.' He continued: 'To erase this story, the movement (Islamic Jihad) made some moves - it made up a story that the rocket belonged to the occupation (Israel) and that the target was the [hospital] building.' Israel published a slew of evidence thoroughly reviewed by MailOnline in the days after the October 17 blast to exonerate its forces after many international media outlets reported the hospital was struck by an IDF bomb. The true origin of the blast is largely believed to have been a misfiring Palestinian rocket but this remains disputed, with Human Rights Watch calling for further investigation.
