Hamas strike on Israel - mod warning in OP updated 19/10/23

I think its safe to say right now that the evidence is pointing out that it was not an IDF strike.

Do you have any evidence of the contrary apart from Hamas's statements?

Remember, Hamas denied the face that they killed children in their own attack?

No, it's actually Israel and Hamas. Most posts here regardless of the side they support use these two terms to designate the sides. So it has became so normalized that even Israel supporters are doing it.

Look at the title, it's Hamas strike on Israel.

Hamas killed innocent civilians by their careless military actions?

Are you from this planet?

The Netanyahu regime has spent the last 10 days denying committing any war crimes in Gaza, when evidence would suggest they have killed a couple of thousand civilians in that period.

One also has to look at it this way.

Who stands to benefit from this strike?

Israel or Hamas?

Hamas of course.

Why would Israel bomb a hospital at the same time that Biden is in the air, en route to the region?

OK, maybe it was a mistake, but where is the crater that is consistent with a JDAM bomb that Israel has been using?

We saw the reaction in the wider region when Hamas put out their propaganda.

How did they establish within an hour that 500 people had died? This normally takes many many hours to decipher.

What Hamas want, are incidents like this, where the wider world will put international pressure on Israel to stand down, where Hamas remain in control of Gaza and the whole cycle can start again in a few months/years...

@JamesCleverly

Last night, too many jumped to conclusions around the tragic loss of life at Al Ahli hospital.

Getting this wrong would put even more lives at risk.

Wait for the facts, report them clearly and accurately.

Cool heads must prevail.

The most sensible tweet I have seen since the accident.

Yes he did. They were even posted in this thread pages before his. He declared himself an authority on the subject and then proceeded to show how smart he was by selectively choosing evidence to suit his theory and ignoring the rest. Classic baffle them with bullshit post.

Anyone claiming either side has not & will not continue kill innocent people are of there rocker,

Hamas done it last week & You can not bomb like Israel have without killing hundred if not thousands of innocent people ,

No it is exactly 1 hour off to the second. One hour later to the second no bomb hit the hospital meaning the CCTV was off by exactly an hour.

Even the IDF are saying its not Hamas, its Islamic Jihad a different militant group in Gaza.

Israel as a State has one army the IDF which it controls. The Palestine are made up of different factions Hamas is one, and hasn't been elected as part of one part of Palestine for nearly 20 years. So Palestine didn't do this a faction within Palestine did it. If you still think this is a double standard then I cant help you.

It seems clear to me that Israel didn't do this particular bombing.

In one sense truth doesn't matter, because too many people will stick to a narrative even if proven wrong, but in another sense truth very much matters.

To be honest I'm glad that it appears Israel were not responsible, because the consequences if it had been were unthinkable.
