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.
Aftermath
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.
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.
I’ve heard this somewhere before… When a Ukrainian building got blown up recently.
OH IT WAS PROBABLY THEIR OWN.
Or maybe they’re just being bombed all the time?
You realise that more bombs have been dropped in Gaza this last week than an entire year of the war in Afghanistan?
I’m saying wait a few hours at least, maybe a day. If it was rockets Israel will jump to publish video showing it.

We’re in a thread about an AJ article so let’s base it on the same source: 7423 in all of 2019.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/1/29/record-7423-us-bombs-dropped-in-afghanistan-in-2019-report
And only 6000 in the last week:
So not yet, but it is a lot of bombs.
Beautiful cherry picking. “Only” lmao.
I’m sorry the Israelis aren’t overtaking the record-breaking years but they’re still dropping more than the bombs dropped in Afghanistan most years. In a 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
So how did this independent investigation should work exactly, when all the border crossings are closed?
Oh wait Palestinians also don’t have access to water, fuel or electricity, they cannot escape to a neighbouring country, they are told to go south, and then bombed even there. But of course none of this is considered a war crime because Israel has the right to defend themselves and apparently the right to designate what amounts to a war crime too.
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
Of course, what do you expect them to do, admit their own fuck up. This would end up the same as the unfortunate killings of a bunch of journalists and their “independent” investigation of the killings. And it happens that all those journalists were critical of Israel’s policies. Quite the coincidence, right?
Occam’s razor: who’s more likely to bomb a hospital? A country that’s been indiscriminately bombing civilian infrastructure in Gaza, or Hamas, who’ve been trying to target Israeli military targets with their rockets (which, by the way, have been remarkably robust).
Also, please stop spreading misinformation: UN agency in Palestine blames Hamas of stealing Gaza aid, then deletes post on X and refutes claim
