GAZA CITY, GAZA—Following conflicting accounts of a horrific attack on a Gaza hospital, officials from the Israeli Defense Forces released a new statement Wednesday that claimed it was you, the reader of this very article, who committed the act of terror.
Read my comment again. I’m no Israeli apologist and yeah, they have committed many war crimes and atrocities. That doesn’t automatically mean that they did this. If Israel were to shot a missile at the hospital, they would hit the hospital, not the parking lot. If an Israeli missile hit the parking lot, the clay tiles on the hospital roof wouldn’t be intact. Based on Israeli drone footage that matches up with Palestinian photographs, this explosion was almost certainly not an Israeli missile.
Just assuming the worst of Israel in every case does not make you an effective critic of Israel. It just feeds the Israeli narrative that their critics are just biased by antisemitism. There is no shortage of confirmed atrocities to blame them for, including the settlements that keep inflaming this conflict.
Israel was photographed loading dumb bombs on their jets the day before this. They are running low on guided options after using so many so fast.
Learn about how airbusrst has different effects than a standard ground burst. Then ask yourself why you wish to believe the stronger military force didn’t cause a huge explosion, when the weaker military force has no known capabilities to make such an explosion.
You don’t think airbursts have shockwaves that break tile roofs? The video didn’t look like an airburst but, if it was, it would have had to have been right at roof level. There were also scorch marks in the parking lot that were indictive of the burning off of unspent rocket fuel.
There is no evidence that the explosion was larger than what Hamas weaponry can produce.

There was a fire caused by the blast. You can see the bent down roofs on many of the cars in the parking lot that matches the angle of an air burst pressure wave.
Keep lapping up the propaganda if that’s your kink though.
