Yeah, I don't agree with what Israel is doing in Gaza and am under no illusions that the IDF doesn't do bad things, but the evidence just doesn't back up the "hospital airstrike with 500 dead" claims. Footage shows a rocket fired from inside Gaza misfiring and landing in a parking lot next to the hospital. The geolocation of the footage has been verified. The visible damage is burned up cars in a parking lot. The actual hospital wasn't hit by anything and the damage is way more consistent with burning rocket fuel than a high explosive detonation, which would have left a massive crater where the parking lot used to be.
500 would be an insane death toll even for an actual JDAM strike on a building. Currently, however, nothing indcates that this was an Israeli strike. Their bombs are massive compared to the ones Hamas is using. The parking lot which the rocket hit is barely damaged except for the damage caused by fire. If it was Israeli bomb there would be a massive crater on the ground. There is some DISTURBING NSFL FOOTAGE that seems to indicate, that there indeed was several casualties in that strike but I'd guess we're more like talking of tens, not hundreds of dead.
Oh wow, I haven't seen pictures of this until now (only clicks your first link thanks very much) but I assumed it was a parking "building" (sorry I don't know the correct English word). But this is just a parking lot.
It's almost like the footage you see whenever there is a Tesla fire
It is VERY doubtful if 500 people died even with a direct hit that leveled the building. Supposedly, from what I can tell, (from 2 sources I'm not completely sold on yet), it was an 80 bed hospital. So it would be extremely unlikely that 500 people would be there even on it's most crowded day ever.
And it appears general consensus is the rocket hit the parking lot, so casualties would be even less........
