Looks like evidence has been published, and at least partially verified by OSINT groups (in the linked article)

    Very compelling evidence, especially if it gets verified. They even adressed the question mark of it being more damage than these groups usually do when their missiles hit. It would be very high stakes lying, but then again, this is a high stakes situation. Whoever did that has a lot of innocent blood on their hands.

      It happens all the time. Hamas and Islamic Jihad don’t care for civilians or conventions and never did, all they care about is literally “killing Jews”. Next question people should be asking: “why are they launching rockets from a hospital’s parking lot? Isn’t that a warcrime?” And the answer is yes and always has been.

        Also note that launching rockets from the hospital makes it a legitimate target and therefore not a warcrime to hit it. Innocents die but it is fair game to destroy it when used as a platform to launch attacks from.

      Lots of Islamic Jihad & Hamas missiles fail during flight and kill Palestinians. Israel had published videos in the past showing e.g. 8 launches at night, pausing the video and showing how 2 or 3 suddenly turn down to the ground to hit the Gaza strip. And of course the local terrorist groups accounted dead Palestinians to Israel striking those locations. It’s sometimes easy to show, with visible rocket engines at night and sometimes harder.

      News outlets don’t give a shit nor does the public. They all jumped at the initial news, regurgitated it verbatim and now that cool heads are analyzing everything it doesn’t matter anymore. PR was done.

      Can you help me find that bit? I read the article and briefing, but didn’t see this addressed.
