    I mean, I’m not trying to give Isreal, or anyone else right now, the benefit of the doubt but we have reports if Israeli planes using unguided munitions from two days ago. And not to take away from the severity but I wouldn’t call the strike dead on as it missed the main structure, however the strike in 2014 that I’ve refered to elsewhere was also similar in that it hit close but the initial impact was not on the structure itself, so I don’t think that alone has too much bearing on who actually did it.

      Well yeah they’re going to have dumbfire munitions as well but I’m talking maximum capabilities. Hamas rockets don’t have the kind of payload to reach this kind of destruction nor the capability to hit it like Israel would and does. Most of the footage they’ve released is them collapsing blocks of Gaza buildings by striking the road nearby. Safe to assume that’s what happened here too as it’s a lot harder to imagine Hamas having munitions beyond what they’ve shown and it just so happening to fall on a hospital.

      It’d be one thing if we see a lot of “failed munitions” but I personally haven’t seen many cases of friendly fire from Hamas.
