ETA: Some people saying video of the hospital explosion points to Israel, others are saying the sound of the projectile makes them think it’s a failed Hamas rocket.

these guys are saying failed launch. who knows.
Yep, had just edited my post to note the conflicting explanations now being discussed.Quote:

TBF, the stories do say it was the Palestinians claiming it was an Israeli air strike. But most people will read that as it was an Israeli air strike.Quote:

Found this one though, and paints a different perspective on how hard it would be to infiltrate and how easy it would be to have a vast tunnel network.

Well, no matter what the case may be, perhaps it's time we put the whole "Israel is commiting war crimes" thing to rest already. From the Geneva Conventions relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War...
Article 28: The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.
Article 29: The Party to the conflict in whose hands protected persons may be is responsible for the treatment accorded to them by its agents, irrespective of any individual responsibility which may be incurred.
Interesting, interesting. Now let's take a look at what HAMAS was up to on their attacks on Israel and read Article 3 which states the following:
To this end, the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons:
(a) Violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture; <---CHECK!
(b) Taking of hostages; <---CHECK!
(c) Outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment; <---CHECK CHECK CHECK!!!
Ah... Ya don't say?
Horrible reality of war. What was it, 5000 Ukraine children kidnapped?
Russian officials say more than 700,000 Ukrainian children have been kidnapped from Ukraine to Russia since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.Quote:

Hamas and Hezbollah DGAF about their own families and citizens. They only have one goal and everything and everyone (including their own families) is expendable for their lone objective.
IDF says it was a failed rocket strike from Islamic Jihad, not Hamas, that hit the hospital and that they “may” declassify evidence. Says in “ confidence”
We’ll see.
‘Wong link’.
Shit, now someone’s going to accuse me of hating Asians too.
Not that the culprit will matter at this point since protests are already widespread but reporting inside Gaza is very unreliable, more so than in the West. There's little freedom of speech/press. Reporters on the ground are under great peril not just because it's a war zone, they are also at risk from Hamas and other Jihadi groups. They have to toe the line when it comes to reporting things like casualty numbers even though Hamas frequently inflates them.
Not sure if the video referenced here is the one from powderbroker’s link:

Tweet history shows it is:

That’s not a good look for the IDF.

The timestamp discussion however is conflating when the explosion was reported with when the explosion happened. People unfamiliar with military time are saying the two events are an hour apart even though timestamps show it's more like 20 minutes i.e., the media didn't report the explosion until 20 minutes after it happened.Quote:
