An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) video on November 15 showing Hamas weaponry found at Al-Shifa hospital shows fewer weapons at the scene than in later footage filmed by international news crews. This has raised suspicions that the weaponry may have been moved from elsewhere and placed there just before news crews arrived to film.
CNN compared footage released by the IDF online to footage obtained by Fox News, which was given access to the site in the hours afterward. This is because in the video published by IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, the time shows 13:18. While in the video report of the foreign correspondent of Fox News, Trey Yingst, he stated that it was filmed in the "middle of the night".
A Fox News correspondent is shown a bag placed behind an MRI machine inside the hospital, with two AK-47s visible on top of it. However, the IDF video filmed earlier shows only one AK-47 weapon. It is unclear where the second AK-47 came from and why it is not visible in the earlier IDF clip.

In the intervening hours, the IDF also posted online a photo of the weaponry allegedly found at Al-Shifa hospital. The WhatsApp filename for this photo shows it was taken at 5:35pm; this places it after the introduction of the IDF to the MRI compound, but almost certainly before the Fox News crew arrives.
It is possible that the weaponry was removed from the scene and replaced before news crews arrived. However, this does not explain why more weapons are visible when the press arrive than in the original IDF video.
The BBC was also given access to the hospital the next day, November 16, and two AK-47s are still visible on top of the bag inside the MRI room. CNN has reached out to the IDF for clarification on the apparent discrepancy, but has not received a response./CNN
