Edit 2 (a day later): AP did their own video analysis and came to slightly different conclusions: https://lemmy.world/post/7113210
Tl;dw: Decent video evidence shows that the rocket the IDF claims hit the hospital was in fact intercepted and destroyed by the iron dome missle defense system. Thus it’s unlikely the hospital was hit by an errant missle fired by Hamas or other Palestinian groups.
Edit 1: If there was another missile, wouldn’t it be seen in the video like the other missiles?
Second part should state: thus its unlikely that the rocket in the video was the one that landed next to the hospital
Wouldn’t it be just for that missile?
Video is from aljazeera
where this claim started. Just saying.
I’ve been reading their articles for years and haven’t noticed false information or any significant bias. Care to explain your position?
Al Jazeera is Qatari state media. The Qatari government has close ties to Hamas, so there is significant bias.
The first and second statements are true, but I’m unconvinced of your conclusion. Even if they are biased, the video analysis appears to be legit.
They have long been criticized for the antisemitic, anti-israel sentiment and Islamist position, which is very much expected. I have nothing actively against them. It’s just that they are Fox news equivalent when it comes to Israel-Palestine situation.
So the video isn’t real?
The video claims that that specific missile didn’t cause the explosion. That is not mutually exclusive to IDF’s claim of failed rocket launch.
Watch about around 15 seconds of this video. Failed launch can look very different from normal missile attacks. Their claim, whether true or not, has very little real evidence and jumps to conclusion.
Also worth noting that aljazeera is run by Quatari government.
Did you just link a video from Israeli Defense Forces, while denigrating Al Jazeera for being state media? The irony is palpable.
Dude, that exact missile shown in your video “misfiring” was in the Al Jazeera video. In the latter, they show how that missile was intercepted by an iron dome missle and was very much blown apart. Perhaps by some crazy chance the warhead remained intact and just fell into the hospital parking lot and exploded, which seems very unlikely, although possible. So with this data, I’d bet that whatever exploded at the hospital wasn’t a missile or part of a missile. Sooo what was it?
Still doesn’t seem like a bomb given the impact crater in the parking lot was fairly superficial.
It was a “knock” dummy missile that made the cars explode. Source: god told me. /s
Don’t believe the FUD. Israel has been terrorizing the Palestinian for decades. Guess the Jews have forgotten the Holocaust.
‘Jews’ and ‘Israel’ are not interchangeable terms.
Tell israel that.
