TikTok Removes Soroka Hospital 7/10 Footage Promo Amid Conspiracy Claims

A promotional video for the Israeli TV program "Zman Emt" (Real Time), featuring exclusive footage from Soroka Hospital on October 7th, was removed from TikTok on Friday. The social media platform cited "misleading information and conspiracy theories" as the reason for its removal. The program itself is scheduled to air on Monday, October 5th, on Kan 11 and Kan BOX.

The promo was uploaded by the program's host and reporter, Roni Singer, to her personal account. It gained significant viewership before being taken down several hours after its upload. An automated message informed Singer that the video violated community guidelines regarding misleading content and conspiracy theories.

Despite the platform's claims, the article emphasizes that the footage depicts real events that occurred at the hospital and was captured by its security cameras. The upcoming "Zman Emt" episode will present this documentation for the first time, detailing minute-by-minute events from 6:29 AM through the night. The footage covers the arrival of casualties, including residents from Ofakim, soldiers from southern bases, attendees of the Nova music festival, and residents from Gaza border communities, as well as the exceptional round-the-clock efforts of the medical teams.

Separately, the article mentions that Lt. Col. Arie Amideror served as the Gaza Division's intelligence officer on October 7th, and includes a quote from Donald Trump stating he does not believe reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu was warned before October 7th.
