    In the recording one man says : “They say the rocket is from Jihadist” then the other one asked : “who says?” Then the other persob replies: “They say its local sharpnel not like the ones from Israeli rockets”

    My point is: none of these people in the recording know anything for a fact. they are just telling what they have heard.

    Oh my God, are we really using ‘slams’ even in reporting on major wars now?

    Stop the planet, I want to get off.

    The firey blast is from spent rocket fuel. Bombs don’t react like that. This was 100% a hamas rocket.

      Could be from the petroleum from the cars. It looks like the missile hit right outside the parking lot. Most of the cars are burned through too.

      Though I am not seeing images of a crater, and it looks like the hospital is still standing. If it was an airstrike, I would imagine there would be more physical damage. But that is just speculation of a air strike bombing run. I feel like there should be more rubble.

      They went as far as to inflate the number of casualties,” he said.

      Estimates given in a time of panic. But only a 200 casualty rate is fine. 201 and we’d have to send you off to the gulag.

      Uh… Hamas rockets (well Islamic Jihad rockets but same difference) don’t have the firepower to cause this kind of destruction.

        I don’t know about that. For instance, this is what a US JDAM sounds like despite just being a gravity bomb with no propulsion of its own. Not sure what the Hamas/Islamic Jihad rockets sound like in their terminal phase.

      This Video proves absolutely nothing - it could have been made everywhere and there is no proof that it was made on October 17.

      Quit spreading misinformation.

        Actually, I’d prefer if you did doubt the source. It is X. I am not even going to disagree with you.

        The video was geo-tagged to the location near the hospital. Landmarks match as well. So the evidence aligns that this is partially real.

        However, there is still data I lack for a full picture. That is why I share stuff like this. So people can tell me WHY it is fake beyond the noticeable. Or provide insight or point of view that I could not.

    So this here is the current view on the area where supposedly about 500 people died. Also there are allegedly more than 300 wounded.

    Questions I personally have:

    • where is the rubble and where is the bomb crater?
    • why does the building seem undamaged?
    • how do you fit 800 people in this parking lot?

      It was actually 1000 children, those are smaller and easily fit in the parking lot. I know that because the honorable health ministry of Hamas Gaza said so.

    10-minute video captured by AJArabic around the time the al-Ahli hospital was hit.

    As per @Ted55643099:

    Explosions on this video: (0:19) hospital. (0:16, 4:25, 4:49) behind and to the left of the hospital. (5:33, 5:56, 9:26, 10:46) behind hospital, most likely the same place. (9:38, 10:51) to the right of the hospital outside of the frame, likely the same place.

    This after Israel previously claimed responsibility for the bombing? Sure. Totally believable.
