🇹🇷Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey

🚨ANALYSIS: DID THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OR HAMAS BOMB THE AL AHLI BAPTIST HOSPITAL? Part 2
As promised, I try to be as objective as possible, so I asked my team to speak to a group of geolocating analysts and OSINT members that believe the explosion at the hospital is most likely from a misfire by Hamas or the Islamic Jihad.
This is in-line with the IDF claims that "the deadly blast at the Gaza hospital was from a failed Islamic Jihad rocket"
Below is a small summary of that argument, which my team will further analyze and post about again tomorrow, in more detail.
This will be as detailed as my earlier tweet, which was an analysis by a Marine Corps Veteran Explosives & Ordinance Expert, who explained why he believes the bomb was American, launched by Israel.
THEORY:
"A missile launched by a Palestinian group exploded mid-air (Reason unknown) and one piece fell on the hospital causing an explosion.
The geolocation and timing of the footage is conclusive."
The line of evidence is very long and complex.
A combination of videos, geolocations and map images, is leading to the calculation of the exact hit (link with more details in comments)
This opens the discussion if the hit was maybe an accident by the Islamic Republic, an ally to Hamas, as claimed by the Israeli Defense Force.
The claim is that rockets from Netiv Haasara were either intercepted or malfunctioned, and accidentally hit the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital.
Geo experts claim the data on the launch site & landing location to be accurate.
To note, after making the same claims, another Geo Expert says this:
"People, please keep in mind I am not coming to any conclusion on what caused the explosion. I’ll leave that to the experts. All I can say with confidence is that an explosion took place at the hospital, and it was live streamed."
MY THOUGHTS:
I stand by my assumption that, based on the size of this explosion, the fact the IDF bombed other hospitals in the past, and they warned hospitals to evacuate, the explosion of the Hospital in Gaza was MOST LIKELY by the IDF.
I also think it was unintentional. It makes no sense for the Israeli military to bomb a hospital full of civilians. Humanitarian reasons aside, the international outcry alone will severely harm public support of the war.
We will be analyzing this counter argument, and await more information tomorrow, along with the evidence the IDF said they will release.
As always, I am open to change my mind as soon as there is evidence. It is too early to come to conclusions, as we need more daytime imagery and videos (i.e. today)
Below are various videos and images supporting the claims above. This includes raw footage shared by the IDF, allegedly showing a rocket aimed at Israel, misfiring, and exploding at 18:59, the same moment the hospital was hit.
🚨BREAKING: The US has issued a travel warning for Lebanon
The State Department has raised the Travel Advisory for Lebanon to Level 4 – Do Not Travel due to the unpredictable security situation related to rocket, missile, and artillery exchanges between Israel and Hizballah or other armed militant factions.
The Travel Advisory was also updated to reflect the authorized departure of some non-emergency U.S. government personnel and eligible family members from U.S. Embassy Beirut due to the unpredictable security situation in Lebanon.
🚨BREAKING FOOTAGE: The Director of the Bombed Al-Ahli Hospital Speaks On Bombing:
"The IDF told us, 'we warned you yesterday with two bombs. So why have you not evacuated the hospital until this moment?'"
Full Video Transcript:
"To tell them and to the whole world, today, this enemy who is threatening those hospitals under the hearing and sight of the whole world, who did not move, nor did it take deterrent measures, nor did it take decisive measures against this enemy.
Rather, the enemy was receiving a message of reassurance and a message of permission to bomb hospitals.
This was completed on this day in this brutal massacre, the likes of which we rarely hear in the present world, but rather hear about in the Bygone eras that tell stories of the brutality and fascism represented today by this occupation."
