The Israeli military says it had no involvement in an explosion that killed hundreds of people at a Gaza City hospital and that the blast was caused by a misfired Palestinian rocket.
Updated: Israel denies involvement in deadly Gaza hospital blast, says explosion caused by Islamic Jihad
Israel’s military says ‘a hospital is not an IDF target’
The BBC’s international editor Jeremy Bowen says he has received a statement in a phone call from the spokesperson’s office of the Israel Defence Forces, reacting to what Palestinian officials have said was an Israeli strike on the Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza.
The statement says “a hospital is a highly sensitive building and is not an IDF target.”
“The IDF is investigating the source of the explosion and as always is prioritising accuracy and reliability.”
“We urge everyone to proceed with caution when reporting unverified claims of a terrorist organisation.”
So there’s some fuckery going on. Either Israel did it by accident, or on purpose and covering up, or something else.
How TF do you read that and end up at the conclusion, Israel is up to no good! You realize you’re defending a literal terrorist organization known for bombing its citizens? Who stands to gain from bombing a hospital? Israel gains… universal condemnation. Hamas gains… the entire Arab community uniting and calling for death to Israel.
That’s why I’m saying there’s some fuckery going on. I’m not putting it past Israel to bomb a hospital at this point, but it seems like a very stupid unjustifiable move. That ‘something else’ I mentioned could be Hamas bombing the hospital and then blaming Israel.
Thanks for not jumping to conclusions. It just seemed to me that your original post was finger pointing at Israel as being responsible for the fuckery, instead of being clear that they don’t have much to gain from this attack and the opposition is a literal terrorist organization known for attacking its citizens and blaming Israel.
Rockets occasionally misfire and don’t make it to their destination. Israel is claiming that’s what happened - that a Hamas rocket fell well short of its intended target.
