Al-Shifa hospital has become a focal point of the Israel-Gaza war in the last few days. On Wednesday morning, Israeli tanks and troops entered the complex. Israel has claimed Hamas has a command centre under the hospital in a network of tunnels. Hamas, which is considered a terrorist organisation by many Western governments, including the US, has denied this. The 大象传媒鈥檚 bureau chief in Jerusalem, Jo Floto, describes the hospital and its importance.

This war is also, in a lesser way, playing out online. Two 大象传媒 journalists; Shaina Oppenheimer and Hesham Shawish, who monitor social media across the Middle East, describe the different kinds of posts people in Israel and in Arab nations might be seeing in their feeds.

And we discuss what tools social media companies use to try to combat controversial content on their platforms, with 大象传媒 global disinformation reporter Jack Goodman.
