Israel says Palestinian nurse resuscitating patient 'staging a play'

The State of Israel account on the X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, described a Palestinian nurse resuscitating a patient in Gaza as staging a "play". 

The Arabic version of the account shared a video from inside a hospital in Gaza in which a nurse was giving CPR to a person who appeared to be unconscious.

"Miracles or plays?" the Israeli account asked in the caption.

"Plays by Hamas to elicit feelings," it added, before claiming the nurse was incorrectly performing CPR.

The account said chest compressions should take place on the left side, unlike what the nurse was doing. 

This claim is false, according to the American Red Cross, which states that chest compressions are done with “two hands centred on the chest”, matching the actions of the Palestinian medic in the video.
