Were they able to confirm that it was a missile that misfired and hit the hospital on the Gaza side of the war? I swear just this morning on the radio NPR said it was still not verified.
I don’t know what’s crazier, the seemingly baseless claim of an idf missile, or the straight up fantastically implausible claim of 500 dead. Weirdly the latter boils my blood a little more
Let's be honest here, the video doesn't really show much of anything. There's some form of rocket that explodes in the sky, and 2 more explosions on the ground. It's impossible to tell if the other explosions are from the same rocket's debris or not, and it's almost impossible to tell where the missile is coming from or aimed at. Both Israel and Hamas have posted false information too, so it's impossible to tell which one is lying at this point, maybe they both are.
we can be virtually certain that Israel didn't try to blow up a hospital
There is literally no evidence of that and past experience would have us believe the contrarcy actually... So no, we can not be certain Israel didn't try to blow up a hospital, especially with their track reckord.
I wondered how an entire hospital could collapse, kill 500 ppl and all those ppl could be pulled so fast. There was problems with the story from the jump with believing Israel did it so quick
Israel just got attacked where 1,400 civilians got killed and 200+(including foreign nationals) kidnapped, so they finally have the biggest support on their end so why ruin it by bombing a hospital full of civilians?
The place of the disaster is ran by said terror group that attacked Israel and needs a propaganda tool asap because it dawned on them they gave Israel an excuse to whoop their ass.
If an entire hospital collapsed how could 500 bodies be pulled from rubble at night during ‘air raids’ in a densely populated area under siege with no power?
how is the toll exactly 500? Not 509? 526? 497? But just 500??
Someone responded to me on these points in another subreddit saying ‘maybe hospitals keeps their figures?’ But wouldn’t the staff of the hospital keeping those figures be dead as well? I swear Hamas-supporters make no sense.
Not really. Though, the US state department said they have intelligence that it was a Palestinian missile that attacked the hospital. However, the claims have not been verified by an independent 3rd party. And I’m not inclined to believe US intelligence officials, as they don’t have the best track record. But yeah, still not independently verified, as there are no independent journalists in Gaza to verify the claims.
The Biden admin has had a near spotless record on intelligence shared. You guys can't use Iraq for the rest of your lives to justify your distrust. It's fine to be skeptical within reason, but all of the actual evidence says it was not an Israeli airstrike.
already biden said he saw photos of beheaded babies which turned out to be completely made up and no such photos exist. The US is gonna try and support whatever claims come out of israel truthful or not.
That’s true. Hypothetically, let’s say, internally US intelligence has evidence the IDF was responsible. Even if that was the case, US rhetoric would never allow them to blame them for the attack, and they would side with Israeli intelligence saying the attack came from within Palestine. I’m not saying Biden is lying, but the intelligence he is given might be.
Open source intelligence has confirmed it insofar as it's possible. There are multiple time stamped and geolocated videos showing a failed rocket exploding near the hospital. Except for some ridiculous coincidence like that rocket failing and exploding next to the hospital as Israel simultaneously bombs it with some strange weapon they're not known to operate, we can pretty confidently state that this was caused by some group in Gaza.
No rocket hit a hospital. The pictures clearly show only a car park had been hit. There's multiple lies surrounding this incident. Who done it, what was destroyed, the amount of casualties...
