    The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) are fucking monsters. There is no justification for hitting a hospital full of civilians except to cause pain, suffering, and fear. The IDF is no better than the terrorists that they fight against.

    This is no “accident”. The IDF have some of the most hi-tech weaponry in the world. This is purposeful.

      You should double check whats going on. I’m sure everyone who jumped to conclusions is going to look like a clown in the morning.

      I couldn’t say that confidently when it happened, but now with new information, absolutely.

        The more certain a person is about what is happening over there, the more I assume they are believing whatever they want to hear.

          Absolutely not, at first I thought it was infact an Israeli airstrike, but upon pouring over multiple angles of video that has been geographically confirmed, it’s fairly damning, and fairly convincing that it was not in fact, an Israeli airstrike.

          The incident had been broadcasted live by Al Jazeera too, so even if you have a bias in favor of Hamas and Palestinian struggles, all signs point to a self-inflicted tragedy.

          Despite that, its far too late since everyone already started protesting at embassies in greater numbers. PA president and Jordan leader cancelled meetings with Biden.

          The situation is deteriorating rapidly.

    OP, your title is straight up disinformation. The article says that both sides blame each other. It is not clear at all who did the strike.

    Reuters did not say that Israel did this. They said they can not confirm who did this. Hamas is claiming Israel did it and Israel is claiming Hamas more or less accidentally hit the hospital in a failed rocket launch offensive.

      I notice that the IDF doesn’t actually say that they didn’t hit the hospital, they just say that Hamas is ‘responsible’ for it. That could mean that they are saying that it’s Hamas’s fault for launching rockets from close to the hospital and making it look like a launch site. IDK, everyone lies in situations like this.

        From the Reuters article:

        However, the Israeli military denied responsibility for the blast at the Al-Ahli al-Arabi hospital in Gaza City, suggesting the hospital was hit by a failed rocket launch by the enclave’s Palestinian Islamic Jihad military group.

        “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”

        Direkt aus Netanjahus Medienteam kam ursprünglich auch sehr schnell die Bestätigung. Aber dann ist ihnen wohl aufgefallen, dass direkt mit dem Angriff prahlen nicht so gut ankommt und das wurde schnell wieder gelöscht.

          Watch the video, it’s a fucking huge explosion. I’m not even sure a Tomahawk cruise missile would detonate like how you see in the video clip. No Palestinians are rocking shit like that, afaik; it seems much closer to what you’d expect from an airstrike.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    GAZA, Oct 17 (Reuters) - An Israeli air strike on Tuesday killed hundreds of Palestinians at a Gaza City hospital crammed with patients and displaced people, health authorities in the besieged enclave said.

    The reported strike was the bloodiest single incident since Israel launched an unrelenting bombing campaign against Gaza in retaliation for a deadly cross-border Hamas assault on southern Israeli communities on Oct. 7.

    A civil defence chief in Hamas-ruled Gaza said on Al-Jazeera television that more than 300 people were killed at Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital.

    “There are scores of dismembered and crushed bodies, baths of blood,” Izzat El-Reshiq, a senior Hamas member, said.

    The violence raged as Washington announced that U.S. President Joe Biden would visit Israel on Wednesday to show support for its war on Hamas.

    Israel has flattened parts of densely urbanised Gaza with air strikes, driven around half of its 2.3 million population from their homes, and imposed a total blockade on the enclave, halting food, fuel and medical supplies.
