      Or Hamas for that matter. After the hospital was blown up, a cease fire should have started. Now it’s just going to escalate and escalate. US is already saying we’ll get involved if Hezbollah makes a move. It’s like WW1 all over again.

    I find it difficult to believe that the area isn’t so blanketed in various radar signals that they don’t have pretty exact tracking on what happened. Counterbattery radar has been a thing for decades now.

    I get the intel sources and methods thing, but I can’t understand why Israel wouldn’t go farther than just making a statement to the press, given the optics on this.

    I am not sure the people who were in that hospital care that much. Both Israel and Hamas share blame in this situation no matter who’s rocket it was.

      You know these people wouldn’t die if Hamas wouldn’t start a suprise attack on 7th? Or if it’s wouldn’t fire rockets at Israel?

        You know these people wouldn’t die if the Israeli government hadn’t encroached on their homeland decades ago, segregated them, and subject them to a slow genocide?

        Everyone sucks here. Anyone taking a “side” is a piece of shit, because both “sides” are pieces of shit. Fuck Bibi and his cronies. Fuck Hamas just as hard.

      I’m not going to go full conspiracy theorist because ultimately I gain nothing from that, but given the track record of the US and Israel I have absolutely no faith in either side’s report on this.

        Same. No assessment done by either of the countries in this issue can be called ‘independent’ or ‘neutral’. And there have been many instances of Israel bombing civilian and aid buildings in the past.
