The explosion at the al-Ahli Arab Hospital on October 17 was a vivid illustration of Hamas’s ability to wage a propaganda war.

The claims made that night by Gaza’s health ministry, which is run by Hamas, highlighted the power of social media to influence global opinion about the conflict in the Middle East.

The health ministry claimed that the explosion had been caused by an Israeli airstrike and that hundreds of people sheltering in the hospital courtyard had died in the blast and ensuing fire.

A veiled woman was shot and critically wounded by police in a Paris underground station after she threatened to detonate explosives.

Police cordoned off the Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand Metro station on the left bank after the incident at 9am, which began when the woman started screaming at passengers while travelling on a train further up the line, officers said.

After passengers called police, officers confronted the woman — who was dressed with full face-covering veil and long robe — in the station.

From Le Parisian – According to the first elements, this woman shouted “Allah akbar”, claiming that “everything was going to explode”. “She started making worrying comments on a train, a few stations before arriving at the François-Mitterrand Library, according to witnesses,” confides a source close to the case.

Ministers are holding an official emergency (“COBRA”) meeting this evening on the Israel-Hamas conflict—their first on any possible terror threat.

This comes after Sir Mark Rowley, commissioner of London’s Metropolitan Police, which is seeking clarification over its policing of extreme language, warned that the terrorism threat in Britain is being “accelerated” by the Middle East conflict. He said the country was facing a “particularly challenging time” which could see extremists at home motivated by fighting abroad.
