The IDF announced that the initial investigation into the explosion at the Ahli Baptist Hospital in central Gaza where Hamas claims as many as 500 people were killed was caused by a Hamas rocket that was misfired and struck the hospital and not by an Israeli airstrike.

The IDF statement says that “an analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit."

"Intelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicates that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza," the statement added.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commented on the explosion at the hospital in Gaza and wrote, "The entire world should know: The barbaric terrorists in Gaza are the ones who attacked the hospital in Gaza, not the IDF."

"Those who brutally murdered our children, also murder their children."

Minister Benny Gantz wrote, "The missiles of The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) murdered this evening innocent Palestinians in a hospital in Gaza. The elimination of terror organizations Hamas and the PIJ is a moral necessity for Israelis, for Palestinians and for the whole world."

Doesn’t matter. The Anti-Semitic SJW groups are already screaming this from the rooftops on every college campus, and I think the protests are soon going to make the Burn, Loot, Murder riots look like a peaceful church picnic by comparison, very soon.

The thin veneer of “Anti-Zionism” that has been covering the plain, old, garden-variety Militant Anti-Semitism for the last number of years is finally being discarded.

Oh really? I was just flipping through YouTube videos and see many about those murderous Israelis targeting a hospital and killing hundreds.
If it turns out it was a HAMAS hit, i’ll be lucky to find one video reporting it.

It doesn’t matter
Even the western media such as the BBC ran with the headline Israel Did it

Everything is exploding

The article says it was an Islamic Jihad rocket, not a Hamas rocket.

That didn’t look like a 500 people dead explosion.

——

The impact was too small to be an Israeli bomb or missile

Also I don’t think 500+ died (see above)

Either way It was a PR win for Hamas

The only rational explanation

If you think Israel values life so little, you are irrational
