Or a rocket that hit an ammo storage sight, maybe? It wouldn't be beyond Hamas to store ammo near or at a hospital.


Certainly on both. That’s the post I was replying to, just forgot to quote it.

Reports that the hospital was being used as a military headquarters so it would make sense they have ammunition there

Israeli official: No doubt Gaza hospital blast caused by misfired Palestinian rocket (via @N12News). These faulty rockets have been a disaster for Gaza residents before, and especially tonight.

The IDF will come out shortly with a report that says it was a Hamas rocket that misfired.

I also found a live stream of Gaza that shows outgoing rockets misfiring about 20 minutes before the first reports of the hospital strike show up online.

This has already set off a chain of events that is going to be difficult to reel back in.

It was the terrorists who struck the hospital.

Even still, there’s got to be more to it. A 240mm is way bigger than a Qassam and has a warhead about 5x heavier. It could land in the middle of a 500 person drum circle and probably not kill all 500.

The death toll count is off or there was a bigger “issue.”

#BREAKING: Statement from the IDF:

IDF: An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit.

Intelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicates that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza.

Around What time did the rocket hit the hospital?

Pretty big rocket if a single killed hundreds.
no secondary explosions, if it was an ammo dump there’d be secondaries

also how’d they manage to have video? are we sure it isn’t from arma 3 video games?

It was either not a rocket

The death toll isn’t nearly that high

Or both are true and it was the most badass rocket ever that hit in just the right spot



Or it was, as Israel has said for years, a weapons cache that caught an errant round. Meanwhile, Frank Drebin is out front assuring everyone things are going smoothly.

This may just push Hezbollah to ramp up the skirmishes on the border and fully open that front. Hamas is the best definition of, "Never let a good crisis go to waste."

YouTube live stream

If you go back to 19:59:30 based on the top left clock, and watch until 20:02:30, you'll see multiple barrages and misfires. The first reports of the hospital came about 20 minutes after that.

100%. Seems like half the world had already released a statement blaming Israel. It'll be impossible to put all this back in the bottle

Here's a fuller & better quality video -- watch from 1:26.

Several rocket launches are visible & what's either an #IronDome interception or mid-air rocket detonation, followed by an explosion on the ground.

Those events could be linked or not. Unclear.

Why did Israelis think it was a good idea to be in Turkey to begin with?
