🚨BREAKING: Doctors Without Borders Blame Israel for Hospital Bombing
"We are horrified by the Israeli bombing of the Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza , which treated patients and housed displaced people.
Hundreds of people were killed according to local authorities.
This is an unacceptable massacre."
🚨JUST IN - Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on the hospital explosion:
"As the whole world knows - the barbaric terrorists in Gaza are the ones who attacked the hospital in Gaza, not the IDF. He who brutally murdered our children, also murders his children.'
A few minutes ago, the IDF claimed the Islamic Jihad was behind the attack.
The Islamic Jihad Movement denies lsrael's accusation of responsibility for one of its missiles falling in the courtyard of the Baptist Hospital.
🚨IDF: ISLAMIC JIHAD MISFIRE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GAZA HOSPITAL BOMBING
Official Statement by the Israeli Defense Force:
From the analysis of the IDF's operational systems, an enemy rocket barrage was carried out towards Israel, which passed in the vicinity of the hospital, when it was hit.
According to intelligence information, from a number of sources we have, the Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed shooting that hit the hospital.
🚨ANALYSIS ON THE ROCKET THAT HIT THE HOSPITAL:
- The explosion was very large for a Hamas rocket
- There was no secondary explosion which means it wasn't a weapons site
- We need forensic materials analysis, but it is unlikely to be gathered.
- The blast yield is similar to IDF munitions, which makes it unlikely to be Hamas
- It is similar to a JDAM 1,000lb munition by yield
- A 1,000lb bomb is a missile the size is the weight of a Fiat 500. There are no secondary explosions so no weapons store.
- Final thoughts: There were no secondary explosions. Hamas might have been hiding in the hospital, but it wasn't a weapons/rocket store.
