Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said in a briefing early Wednesday morning that no Israeli strike, either by air, land or sea, occurred near Al-Ahli Arab Hospital at the time of the deadly explosion. He added that drone footage, radar information and a recording of Gaza militants indicate a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket was responsible.
He said the Israeli military would soon publish the radar info, footage and a recording of militants in Gaza assigning blame to Islamic Jihad, a group aligned with Hamas. All the information, Hagari said, would be given to President Biden as part of a “full briefing” when the U.S. leader arrives in Israel Wednesday.
Palestinian Ambassador to the U.N. Riyad Mansour accused Israel of carrying out the strike, calling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a liar for blaming the strike on the armed group Islamic Jihad. “Now they change the story to try to blame the Palestinians. It is a lie,” Mansour said during a press conference at the U.N. headquarters.

It takes a long time to extract and compile evidence. Especially when it is this important. It will need to be checked over as well before anything is released.
They also need to redact anything damning…
or just classified in general… there’s plenty of blame to pass israel; let’s not give anyone ammo to say it’s all just bias
Yea, the charitable explanation here is definitely that they need to review the footage to make sure it doesn’t contain any classified drone designs or details on troop placements.

An aspect I hadn’t considered, they probably do want to conceal their full surveillance abilities.
