The Hamas-run Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip says at least 500 people have been killed in an explosion that it says was caused by an Israeli airstrike.
Updated: Israel denies involvement in deadly Gaza hospital blast, says explosion caused by Islamic Jihad
Israel’s military says ‘a hospital is not an IDF target’
The BBC’s international editor Jeremy Bowen says he has received a statement in a phone call from the spokesperson’s office of the Israel Defence Forces, reacting to what Palestinian officials have said was an Israeli strike on the Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza.
The statement says “a hospital is a highly sensitive building and is not an IDF target.”
“The IDF is investigating the source of the explosion and as always is prioritising accuracy and reliability.”
“We urge everyone to proceed with caution when reporting unverified claims of a terrorist organisation.”
So there’s some fuckery going on. Either Israel did it by accident, or on purpose and covering up, or something else.
Rockets occasionally misfire and don’t make it to their destination. Israel is claiming that’s what happened - that a Hamas rocket fell well short of its intended target.
How TF do you read that and end up at the conclusion, Israel is up to no good! You realize you’re defending a literal terrorist organization known for bombing its citizens? Who stands to gain from bombing a hospital? Israel gains… universal condemnation. Hamas gains… the entire Arab community uniting and calling for death to Israel.
That’s why I’m saying there’s some fuckery going on. I’m not putting it past Israel to bomb a hospital at this point, but it seems like a very stupid unjustifiable move. That ‘something else’ I mentioned could be Hamas bombing the hospital and then blaming Israel.
Thanks for not jumping to conclusions. It just seemed to me that your original post was finger pointing at Israel as being responsible for the fuckery, instead of being clear that they don’t have much to gain from this attack and the opposition is a literal terrorist organization known for attacking its citizens and blaming Israel.
Which is why if it was them and an accident (or deliberate) it would be covered up. Things happen in war and the narrative that results from actions is as important as supply chains.
Is the hospital the giant expanse of black or the slightly larger giant expanse of black? You’re touting this like it proves anything when its a screencap from a news show that has composite effects on the screen. We dont know what happened and this video isn’t proof one way or another.
Hamas are utter bastards, what isreal is doing is also inexcusably horrendous. Both are true statements. The only side that doesnt suck in this ‘war’ is the side of slaughtered innocents, which sure seems to be easily forgotten in a rush to be smugly superior over which side committed the heinous atrocity we get to care about today!
The hospital is the big building that blows up when the rocket hits it. I’m glad that you’re hesitant to jump to conclusions. You should be calling out the top-level comments stating or implying that Israel is responsible. You should be calling out the main article of this thread for stating that it was an Israeli strike. Since you’re so in favor of not mis-stating facts.
What Israel is doing, fundamentally, is self-defense and there aren’t clear boundaries about where that crosses the line. I won’t endlessly support Israel no matter what, but right now it is very clear that they wouldn’t be doing any of this if there wasn’t an existential threat due to a terrorist organization that demands their complete destruction. If there is cancer in the body, you kill good cells trying to destroy the cancer. But you must destroy the cancer, or be destroyed yourself. I’m sorry that innocents have to die, but when Hamas is destroyed, then the Palestinians can actually have peace, if they want it.
Umm, maybe you missed the memo. Everyone killed in gaza has been a hamas militant, and everyone upset about genocide and war crimes is a hamas propagandist.
Those reuters reporters the IDF blew up? Obviously hamas… it’s pretty straightforward.
Heres a link from the bbc,i dont think they are members of hamas

God forbid anyone point fingers, I’m glad you’re of such staunch moral fiber as to be above that kind of thing!
Feel free to wait for the facts to emerge before commenting.
Practice what you preach, boychik.
