Israel said Palestinian militants had misfired projectiles, but an analysis of photos and videos of Friday’s strikes shows that some of the munitions were likely fired by Israeli forces.

Is this referring to the strike that got a lot of media attention from an ambiguous assailant, or most of the other strikes that deliberately targeted hospitals?

[–] Brunbrun6766 60 points 1 year ago

Fucked up that we have to ask "which hospital strike is this?"

[–] Darorad 17 points 1 year ago

A different strike on another hospital from a few days ago

But the Jerusalem Post told me the IDF said it was Hummus,.,

Say it ain't so

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Minutes after 1 a.m. Friday, as active fighting raged between Israeli forces and Hamas militants, a projectile streaked over Gaza’s largest medical complex and crashed into the center of the courtyard of Al-Shifa Hospital, a place where thousands of displaced Gazans had sought shelter.

Hours after the final blast, the Israeli military blamed unspecified Palestinian militants, saying a “misfired projectile” aimed at Israel Defense Forces troops deployed nearby had instead hit the hospital.

Al-Shifa has emerged as a particular flashpoint: Israel contends it has evidence that the hospital sits on top of an underground Hamas command center and has been warning those still inside to evacuate, even as its troops have been actively working to surround the facility.

In addition to the weapons remnants, an analysis of video footage shows that three of the projectiles were fired into the hospital from the north and south, contrary to the western trajectory indicated on a map released by the I.D.F., which it said was based on radar detections.

Videos filmed by a reporter working with Al Jazeera inside the hospital on Oct. 30 and provided to The Times showed women, children and infants filling the corridors and stairwells of the maternity building.

A photo obtained by The Times showed the damage caused by the projectile that hit the outpatient area, but Mr. Garlasco and Mr. Stevens, the weapons experts, said the image did not provide enough detail to determine what kind of munition was used in the strike.


The original article contains 1,326 words, the summary contains 246 words. Saved 81%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Everything Israel says turns to be bullshit in shorter snd shorter time frames. And yet, some idiots stiill believe them.

is this the one that chopped off the guys legs? thought that was from an idf flare canister that unfortunately fell

[–] Copernican 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There was a flare canister that hit a person. But then there was HE shells that hit the hospital. If It was just the flare I imagine that unfortunately is no within the reasonable criteria of precautions to minimize civilian casualties or something. But the HE shells...

[–] Hatsune_Miku -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah the HE shells are quite sus. Was it a miss? Retaliation? Deliberate hit? time will tell until the experts can do their investigations :c

[–] MotoAsh 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Israel openly admits to killing dozens of civilians in order to kill one suspected Hamas fighter.

They are not only fully capable of targeting a hospital, but they have done it in the past, saying Hamas dug tunnels under. Israel will use any excuse to make life hell until they control the entire region, and the US is helping (along with most of the west).

[–] Hatsune_Miku -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh they openly say that? care to share? :o

[–] MotoAsh 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty sure the general, "yea, we suspected someone was Hamas and merc'd them all." on a Piers Morgan interview, though I don't remember clearly. It was a military general or some such military figure. Forgot the original source on the direct hospital admittal.

That one might've just been an obvious inference, like the whole, "we found this [perfect new copy] of Mein Kampf on a dead soldier in a children's school in Gaza" thing. That was such blatantly obvious manufactured propaganda that I'm pretty sure Russia is upset with Israel. Blatantly obviously fake propaganda is their specialty.
