    Isn’t the Gaza hospital at the very least confirmed to have been a relatively minor explosion in the parking lot?

        major explosion killing 200+ people

        Is there any proof of that? From what I saw the estimates kept going down and down, with various OSINT groups claiming likely proof of merely tens of people and actual intelligence agencies more conservatively 100+, but not 200. It seems unlikely that if Hamas had the bodies of 200+ people they would not even take photos for propaganda purposes.

        from a failed rocket launch by neither Israel or Hammas but by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group.

        The US said “Israel likely isn’t responsible” one time, and this is what people are repeating…

        I’m sorry, what?

        The IDF pinned it on the Palestinian Islamic Jihad almost immediately, not Hamas. Israel doesn’t really care that much about the distinction between Hamas and the PIJ and doesn’t gain anything by conflating them. If anything, the PIJ is even worse than Hamas, and they literally have the word ‘Jihad’ in their name, so if anything, Israel would be incentivized to label more things as self-admitted jihadists.

      That was the latest that I saw. Not to excuse the rest of Israel’s actions. Really hard to discern the fake news and propaganda from reality on that one though. And it’s a moot point anyway. It’s blamed on Israel now, because that’s the story that is sticking.

      Yeah, but there was a bunch of people who were gathered there because their homes had already been bombed…
