I've seen the same speculation. The video in question is here. I'm skeptical because it looks like the area has power, but then some people are saying the area with power is actually Ashkelon and Gaza is the dark section. But then this video also apparently made the rounds in 2022? There's a lot of disinformation going on.
Reuters and the AP are officially reporting it as an Israeli airstrike, though, so until we hear anything else, I'm believing them.
Yeah, Hamas claimed it was an Israeli missile. Israel claims that it was a failed rocket launch by Hamas.
I don’t think we actually know more than that, and everything else is people speculating for their team. But in the end, we need more information on this as statement stands against statement.
edit:
A note from the Guardian:
The Israeli military reportedly said an initial investigation suggested the explosion was caused by a failed Hamas rocket launch, but the scale of the blast appears to be outside the militant group’s capabilities.
German Tagesschau is pretty accurate and their also update news regulary if they got new informations, until that most of their news in the liveblog have the "not independently verified" claim.

A note from the Guardian:
Reading these comments that’s exactly what I was thinking. Did Hamas ever have the ability to destroy a hospital with a single missile?
No, how would they get such a large munition?
They updated their stories.
