The Israel-Hamas war wagon is quite popular on our pages, so my apologies – I have another related article later today, but both were too good to pass up. As you’ve likely heard, a hospital in Gaza was bombed. Hamas blamed the IDF. The IDF says it was Hamas, and which is it?
You get to decide, and we won’t even approach the well-known fact that Hamas launches rockets from hospitals, schools, and mosques becasue they know Israel is less likely to strike them from the sky.
So, here we go.
Lots of talk in recent hours of a failed rocket launch striking the grounds of a hospital in Gaza. I think it’s timely to remind viewers that rockets produced by terrorists aren’t always effective. pic.twitter.com/7UxVZMqlDI

The timing is also suspicious. The rocket attack on the hospital occurred right after Hamas announced that it was launching rocket attacks on Israel.
The blast occurred just minutes after a large barrage of Hamas rockets were fired toward Tel Aviv, and Hamas reportedly announced that they were in the process of launching their “most robust weapons” at Haifa just before the hospital explosion — but no such weapon reached Haifa.
Townhall.com has several tweets with video claiming proof it was a Hamas misfire, but this one from Al Jazeera is alleged to have accidentally recorded the misfire, impact, and a secondary explosion.
An Al Jazeera broadcast documented the moment that the Islamic Jihad launched a rocket which misfired and hit a hospital in Gaza, killing hundreds. pic.twitter.com/O5Lx1BtOtJ

Oops.
Hardcore partisans on either side will likely not be dissuaded from their approved positions, leaving us to interpret what we see (was that really the hospital, etc) and what we are being told.
Another day in paradise.
Have at it, then.
