I don’t want to take sides on this specific event, and I’m not trying to minimize any suffering.

I would be more inclined to believe it was a misfire if it were a small damage and toll. But we are talking about hundreds dead and many more wounded. Hamas historically need several missiles to do that kind of destruction. Doesn’t seem to be congruent with a misfire.

The IDF on the other hand regularly uses ammunition that flattens buildings the exact way this hospital was hit. I won’t say anything conclusive, but until an independent third party finds some evidence, I would suspect this kind of illogical claims without sources.

EDIT: and the source of the claim seems to be poisoned.

If Hamas had missiles capable of that level of destruction, they’d have used them, last week.

Still waiting for evidence of that. The video commonly being shared is timestamped for a half hour prior to the hospital being hit (and wouldn’t at all account for the massive size of the explosion shown in the actual footage of the hospital being hit).

I guess we’ll have to wait and see, but in the mean time I’ll probably pass on the “most powerful rocket ever made in Palestine hit a hospital in a freak accident” and explanation and go with the country that’s dropped thousands of bombs in Palestine bombed Palestine.

NPR is reporting that it is unconfirmed.
