Bombing a hospital is half a step behind carpet bombing the whole place. Did not expect it to escalate like this, so I second the motion to get verification
Israel claims an Islamic Jihad rocket misfired and hit a hidden ammo dump in or near the hospital.
Update:
IDF: 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.

Of course, what do you expect them to do, admit their own fuck up. This would end up the same as the unfortunate killings of a bunch of journalists and their “independent” investigation of the killings. And it happens that all those journalists were critical of Israel’s policies. Quite the coincidence, right?
So how did this independent investigation should work exactly, when all the border crossings are closed?
Oh wait Palestinians also don’t have access to water, fuel or electricity, they cannot escape to a neighbouring country, they are told to go south, and then bombed even there. But of course none of this is considered a war crime because Israel has the right to defend themselves and apparently the right to designate what amounts to a war crime too.

Update:
And likewise, Hamas claims this was an Israeli airstrike. That’s why independent verification is so critical.
Update
Videos published by various sources, alleged to show the Islamic Jihad rocket that hit the hospital:

None of these videos line up with each other, so at least two of them must be irrelevant if not all three.
Meanwhile, the closest video shows an incoming whistle: https://twitter.com/i/status/1714366113818038412
The Al Jazeera video has been the most cited
That’s about as believable as thinking all those oligarchs in Russia really did jump out of a window
