There’s a pretty good chance this was an own goal.
Posting this before it’s clear what caused this is borderline misinformation.
EDIT: this compounds the existing lack of medical supplies and equipment, already stretched extra thin after Hamas stole truckloads of fuel and medical supplies from the UN earlier this week.
Bombing a hospital is half a step behind carpet bombing the whole place. Did not expect it to escalate like this, so I second the motion to get verification
Israel claims an Islamic Jihad rocket misfired and hit a hidden ammo dump in or near the hospital.
Update:
IDF: An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit.
Intelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicates that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza.
And likewise, Hamas claims this was an Israeli airstrike. That’s why independent verification is so critical.
Update
Videos published by various sources, alleged to show the Islamic Jihad rocket that hit the hospital:

- The first video shows multiple rockets and an explosion
- The second video shows one with no explosion
- The third shows one with an explosion in the air first
None of these videos line up with each other, so at least two of them must be irrelevant if not all three.
Meanwhile, the closest video shows an incoming whistle: https://twitter.com/i/status/1714366113818038412
The Al Jazeera video has been the most cited
That’s about as believable as thinking all those oligarchs in Russia really did jump out of a window
US President Joe Biden will once again emphasise Israel’s “right and duty” to defend itself.

This is so fucked.
Yep, definitely a step I was not expecting.
Hamas says it was IDF, IDF says it ways the Islamic Jihad.
What’s certain is that this whole situation is FUBAR.
So messed up of Israel.
