This source might not be the best but I'm following these details and I think a more reputable source will cast doubt on the legitimacy of the situation Israel and this hospital has painted. There seems, to me, a good chance this hospital bombing was faked / or the details were heavily skewed as a propaganda piece.

Reuters: What we Know about this Hospital Strike

  • Reuters said IDF fired a strike at a Palestinian hospital causing 500 deaths.

  • Comms come out where a "Hamas agent" spills the beans about details saying Hamas did it, and other Hamas agents are confused.

  • Israel has posted and asserted misinformation about this situation. They may just be lying reflexively.

  • Videos of this hospital parking lot seem to show a lot less damage than the reported ammunition (JDAM) And the size of the explosion. We see a few cars worth of damage. Some cars seem fine. There was fire in the hospital though too?

  • Nonetheless this bomb went off in Northern Gaza, where Palestinians have been ordered to evacuate. Which is logistically impossible and there's nowhere for them to go.
