rhouses Haven’t gone through any of the content yet, but I’m hoping this will be a fairly reliable source:

From Bellingcat’s article on the event:

“As noted by Marc Garlasco, a Military Advisor at PAX for Peace’s Protection of Civilians team, the impact point does not appear to be consistent with the 500, 1000 or 2000-pound bombs used in Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs).”

    Along_the_Wire Chances of a failed rocket killing 500 in a hospital do seem quite remote don’t they?

    As per my post above, the main impact point appears so small as to be completely inconsistent with a bomb, but rather more with something like a failed rocket. Plus the impact point was not a hospital building itself, but it rather landed in the car park. The hospital buildings are barely damaged at all as shown in the images and video above.

    It seems incredibly unlikely that there is anything close to 500 deaths, and it appears those who died will have been people in the car park plus some who were camping on a grassy area by the car park from collateral.

    Mad_Cyril What caused the ignition should be pretty easy to trace

    See above. Whatever it was seems too small to be a bomb, but landed in a car park and set off cars. The impact of the blast and its collateral did not seem to impact the buildings.

          No surprise Hugo has gone into the munitions weeds.

          His Philly accent is so over the top here. Not a great moment for eastern Pa.

          rhouses between top Israeli officials taking credit for it and this I think it’s pretty clear who is responsible.

              zackster I think it’s pretty clear who is responsible

              Firstly, you’re going to believe the ‘Al Jazeera digital investigations team’?!

              Secondly, even they don’t say that it was caused by an Israeli bomb or attack, rather even they seem to suggest it was a Gaza rocket which had been intercepted by an Iron Dome that then fell.

              They also say nothing of the fact that whatever it was didn’t even hit the hospital itself.

                  Thats a secondly, Hugo.

                      zackster it was one guy who maybe got the wrong end of the stick, as you have.

                      None of the evidence shown at all tallies with an air strike.

                        If you go to Gaza and measure the crater personally then I will be forced to concede.

                          I just went and it’s about the size of Ed’s cranium - yes, that small.

                            Hursty yeah Al Jazeera has no Arab bias whatsoever.

                            Even their video footage which zack posted seems to rather suggest it was a Gaza missile intercepted by an Iron Dome, rather than an attack.

                            You’re going to take Al Jazeera over the BBC, Bellingcat and Guardian? If even The Guardian don’t think it was an Israeli attack, then it most probably wasn’t.

                                Hursty There is no doubt the Israelis did this, anything to the contrary is pure BS

                                Do explain hursty. Quoting zacko won’t cut it either.

                                  Hursty did this

                                  Plus, whatever the cause, the extent of the devastation caused in “this” was certainly exaggerated to a monumental degree. It’s not even close to how it was first reported.

                                    hugopal every media has a bias, that’s the whole point of reading it, to see another point of view

                                        The desired outcome has been achieved. It will never be definitively proven, due to a flood of conflicting information, which is a heavily used counter intelligence tactic of Israel. Bottomline for me is Bibi’s own government official said they did it. Simple as.

                                        Seems funny the only thing they aren’t running out of in Gaza is 🚀🤔

                                        Hursty every media has a bias, that’s the whole point of reading it,

                                        And The Guardian’s is usually pro-Palestinian, but not in this instance.
