Hamas fuckers probably hit their own hospital just for sympathy points

    The rockets are unguided and made from sewer pipe and plant fertilizer. These things probably have a spread of a kilometer and this one was likely malfuncioning. I don't see a reason to assume they intentionally targeted the hospital. These are long range weapons anyways.

    They fire off these things from civilian areas all the time. I don't see how it's so surprising to people that a shitty rocket fired out of a super dense city could fail and hit a building like a hospital.

    Misfires happen all the time, but when you're shooting from within city limits the chance of one leading to tragedy is much higher.

    We don't know the exact truth yet, but this seems to be a video from that night, from a geolocated position :

    We see a rocket being launched, seemingly missfire and blowing up high in the sky, then two explosions, the second one being near the hospital.

    The damages sure don't look like they are from a detonated military bomb, but rather the result of a weaker explosive.

    What why would terrorists do that?? They live only to protect their people and would never put civilians in danger!

    Which group of terrorists? Hamas or IDF? Both have a considerable civilian bodycount.

    Both sides are trying to do an ethnic cleansing. False flag operations don't make a lot of sense when your people are 'the chosen ones'.

    I personally thought it was Israel because it sounded very much like a US JDAM but surprise surprise, the damage and death toll was extremely exaggerated by outlets which makes me think it actually was a faulty Hamas rocket on the basis it only cooked a few cars and scorched some stuff. The damage is too small to be Israel which is depressing in its own way.

    Oh, not at all. I support Palestine completely. While Hamas and Israel do similarly deplorable acts, I just hesitate to fully condemn Hamas as it's clear they're doing what they are out of desperation. Israel has the power to end the conflict tonight, give food and aid to innocent Palestinians, and return the land they've annexed.

    But they won't.
