Shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday, a volley of rockets lit up the darkened sky over Gaza. Videos analyzed by The Associated Press show one veering off course, breaking up in the air before crashing to the ground.
Seconds later, the videos show a large explosion in the same area – the site of Gaza’s al-Ahli Arab Hospital.
Who is to blame for the fiery explosion has set off intense debate and finger pointing between the Israeli government and Palestinian militants, further escalating tensions in their two week-long war.
The iron dome doesn’t target missiles when they are fired, but later on in their ballistic trajectory. It’s unlikely an iron dome missile hit a rocket so soon after launch.
Guess it just malfunctioned and blew up
Their analysis really doesn’t contradict the outcome, it just says the missile failed because of defensive interception vs an inherent issue.
But I’m skeptical of their analysis because it would mean the iron dome has incredible range and incredible response time, to an unrealistic extent.
Maybe it was the jewish lazor defense system that twitter had as a top result for over 24hrs before the hospital explosion.
