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.”
my GUESS:
A) this was at the launcher; they tend to setup 3-5 launchers with the rockets on the rails
B) it detonated on the rails and/or simply fell over detonating the other warheads (which would be detectable due to delay by surveillance) nearby
C) in a courtyard or some central and somewhat enclosed space, amplifying they detonation wave and the return wave (blast wave and blast wind) increasing the casualties.
D) casualties were most certainly exaggerated when they thought they could blame on the IDF.

The anti-Israel Twitter mob is rushing to condemn Israel for the bombing of a hospital without knowing the facts—that is what mobs do.

In the fog of war, amid an atmosphere of disinformation, why not reserve judgment and wait for the facts to emerge? The reason is simple:

Facts can get in the way of The Narrative. Israel must be guilty, the truth be damned.

Or a rocket that hit an ammo storage sight, maybe?

Or a rocket that didn't make it anywhere near its intended target and still had a bunch of fuel still on board and made the explosion bigger?

We know there was a courtyard involved, as people were camping/sheltering there and it was initially reported as part of the hospital that was hit.

ETA: People were reportedly sheltering all over the hospital grounds.

I appreciate your sentiment. I felt the same way last week.

Should you feel openminded, spend 30 minutes listening to a professor who's parents were both in Nazi concentration camps, and has been studying this subject for 40 years. Jimmy Dore podcast, "The Palensians Had No Other Choice"

They're going to keep killing each other for decades; I wish it wasn't with our borrowed tax dollars. Bless our children.

Obviously, it's your board, and your choice as to how much it echoes.

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

Yeah most people will still believe it’s Israel at fault even if it’s proven not to be

Jimmy Dore is a severely biased source of information.

Your daily reminder what Hamas did. (Extremely graphic video, click at your own risk.)

Today a top Hamas commander was killed by a targeted strike.....on a refugee camp. That's Hamas.

Yeah but this works both ways. Some people will still defend Israel even if it's proven to be deliberate by them.

There's a longer version of that video/coverage that shows an initial rocket launch/barrage. I posted it a bit ago. Kind of gives a better idea how it may have played out.

It’s truly awful but the very fact that people don’t think Israel may be capable of doing this, is very concerning.

Footage has been released from Northern Gaza earlier tonight which appears to possibly show a Rocket launched by Palestinian Groups in the Strip having Exploded for an Unknown Reason causing Debris to Rain Down resulting in the Explosion and subsequent Fire at Al-Ahli Arabi Baptist Hospital; this is Direct Evidence that the Explosion was indeed caused by a Misfired-Rocket and not by an Israeli Airstrike.

The fact that hamas is known for doing dumb/evil shite like this and Israel isn’t is all the proof I need to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Facts in this have backed that up (yet again) while clowns like you look stupid (yet again).

The beheaded babies are fake news people and the Israel blew up the hospital people Venn diagram is just a single circle.

I have no idea who blew up the hospital. But this reaction is unfortunately part of why I hope Israel proceeds with caution. The best revenge is continuing to exist and thrive. Do what you need to do to secure your borders and your people going forward. But I see nothing but disaster in moving major personnel into Gaza.
