An Israeli air strike has hit al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City where thousands of civilians are seeking medical treatment and shelter from relentless attacks.
Gaza health ministry says at least 500 casualties in hospital blast. A UN-run school housing refugees also struck.
The attack comes a day before US President Joe Biden visits Israel, where he is expected to stress American support for the country.
A planned summit with President Biden in Jordan has been cancelled, the Jordanian government says.
Some 3,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since Hamas’s October 7 attack inside Israel, which has killed more than 1,400.
There is apparently a video of a Hamas missile misfiring and landing on the hospital.
It is unclear, and even if it was no clear distinction on who fired it.
Point is that this “war” is about justification and the global narrative far more that who did what. Both sides are trying to win over the world and justify themselves while claiming the other commits ear crimes with the truth and people coming a distant second.
Ear crimes. Heh. Thanks for the chuckle.
Woops, war crime but happy I got a chuckle
This is the video
The source is supposedly Al Jazeera. It certainly looks real, but I’m not going to call it “confirmed” like the dude sharing it just based on that. We’ll see in the following days hopefully.
The issue with that video that a lot of people are pointing out is that the timestamp is a half hour prior to when the hospital was hit. And time zones change in full hour increments, so that doesn’t explain the discrepancy.
That’s not entirely true. Several timezones are at a 30 minute offset and a couple are even at a 45 minute offset.
Iran is +3:30
Afghanistan is +4:30
India is +5:30
NT and SA in Australia is +9:30 (but NT doesn’t observe DST)
In some special areas, yes, often due to specific small country decisions on where they fall on the date line. But that doesn’t apply here.
Well, the Iran one might…
(Not impossible)
I don’t see a timestamp, did it get cropped or something? Is there a timeline that puts these two videos in context with the rest of the events?
Yeah, the video in the link up there is zoomed in. The original Al Jazeera livestream was a multi-panel set of videos.
I don’t know what your point is about these videos but time zones most certainly do not only differ by full hours. https://www.timeanddate.com/time/time-zones-interesting.html
Are you claiming this is one of those exceptions?
I said I’ve no clue what you’re arguing about. I only know the statement about time zones is incorrect.
Lol, Al Jazeera wrote this article claiming the opposite.
This is the video of the strike. https://piped.video/shorts/cCSugJpGdO4
