The Times’s finding does not answer what actually did cause the Al-Ahli Arab hospital blast, or who is responsible.

The footage also suggests that Israeli bombardment was taking place and that two explosions near the hospital can be seen within two minutes of it being struck.

A whodunnit for the ages.

who-did-this but instead of a hotdog suit it’s a shirt that says “guy who bombed 40 hospitals”

And every time he moves his arms another bomb falls out his sleeve

What a coincidence, my senses of pattern recognition and object permenance are also casting doubt on the US/Isreali version of events.

NYT experts, afters firing their single shared neuron once, have discovered what everyone had already known all along.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The footage has become a widely cited piece of evidence as Israeli and American officials have made the case that an errant Palestinian rocket malfunctioned in the sky, fell to the ground and caused a deadly explosion at Al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza City.

Israel has responded to the Hamas attack with a relentless artillery and bombing campaign that has killed 5,700 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run Gazan Health Ministry, as the Israeli military prepares for a ground invasion.

Israel also has cited several other pieces of evidence that have not been made public, including logs of military activity, information gleaned from radar systems, other audio intercepts and other videos.

In the posts, the Israeli military identified the moving aerial object as a “rocket aimed at Israel” that “misfired and exploded” at nearly the same time as the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital blast.

Using satellite imagery to triangulate the launch point in those videos, The Times determined that the projectile was fired toward Gaza from near the Israeli town of Nahal Oz shortly before the deadly hospital blast.

In addition, the videos show that the projectile in the Al Jazeera footage was launched after the barrage of Palestinian rockets Israeli officials assessed was responsible for the hospital explosion.


The original article contains 1,469 words, the summary contains 207 words. Saved 86%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

So tired of these "digital investigators" fucking go to the site and look at some shrapnel. Or at the very least build us a 3d model showing exactly what happened

I think we all know why US and Israel are refusing UN access to go to the site and investigate.
