    Israel claims an Islamic Jihad rocket misfired and hit a hidden ammo dump in or near the hospital.

    Update:

    IDF: An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit.

    Intelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicates that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza.

      And likewise, Hamas claims this was an Israeli airstrike. That's why independent verification is so critical.

          • The first video shows multiple rockets and an explosion
          • The second video shows one with no explosion
          • The third shows one with an explosion in the air first

          None of these videos line up with each other, so at least two of them must be irrelevant if not all three.

          Meanwhile, the closest video shows an incoming whistle: https://twitter.com/i/status/1714366113818038412

      That's about as believable as thinking all those oligarchs in Russia really did jump out of a window

      Of course, what do you expect them to do, admit their own fuck up. This would end up the same as the unfortunate killings of a bunch of journalists and their "independent" investigation of the killings. And it happens that all those journalists were critical of Israel's policies. Quite the coincidence, right?
