I would hope that any partisan spokesperson's comments would be fact checked as much as possible. Both Hamas and Israel have had times when they had to step back from their first statements.

I would say it is often Israeli media and opposition MK who have first questioned some inaccurate Israeli accounts. I don't think there is a parallel pushback of Gazans correcting the Hamas accounts.
