      Isn’t the Gaza hospital at the very least confirmed to have been a relatively minor explosion in the parking lot?

          major explosion killing 200+ people

          Is there any proof of that? From what I saw the estimates kept going down and down, with various OSINT groups claiming likely proof of merely tens of people and actual intelligence agencies more conservatively 100+, but not 200. It seems unlikely that if Hamas had the bodies of 200+ people they would not even take photos for propaganda purposes.

          from a failed rocket launch by neither Israel or Hammas but by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group.

          The US said “Israel likely isn’t responsible” one time, and this is what people are repeating…

        That was the latest that I saw. Not to excuse the rest of Israel’s actions. Really hard to discern the fake news and propaganda from reality on that one though. And it’s a moot point anyway. It’s blamed on Israel now, because that’s the story that is sticking.

        Yeah, but there was a bunch of people who were gathered there because their homes had already been bombed…

      Double Speak - (satire) The church was bombed to punish Hamas for bombing the hospital… (/satire)

      Though to put on a serious hat for a second, forcing half the population to move, so you double the number of people in the south of gaza, just means there will be more civilians everywhere including “legitimate” military targets.

      What happened to the whole roof knocking warning system?

      For the Hospital bombing…

      This lines it all out.

      The TLDR is that it’s not enough visible damage to have been an Israeli bomb. The entire article is worth a read, Bellingcat actually does video and image analysis to figure out what likely happened.

      As for the church bombing, Israel has taken responsibility for it, but are quibbling on the damage.

      https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/10/20/gaza-church-strike-saint-porphyrius/

      The Israel Defense Forces said in an emailed statement that a strike targeting a Hamas control center “damaged the wall of a church in the area” and that it is “aware of reports on casualties” and is reviewing the incident.
