    New analysis of the hospital strike suggests everyone was wrong. The video footage that was thought to show a misfired rocket was a different incident occurring a few seconds beforehand. The explosion supposedly showing the hospital being struck was also a different incident.

    • I’m not surprised. Both accounts seemed reactionary to me.monospaced
    • In Alex’s own words “I have not found anything pointing to the IDF being behind the explosion at the hospital”Gnash
    • And “Occam's Razor remains that a failed rocket from the barrage impacted the parking lot of the hospital”Gnash
    • So still Hamas’ buddiesGnash
    • More likely still Islamic Jihad rocket based on the aftermath of the site itself. It's just that the video everyone was using to say it was a misfired rocketyuekit
    • is showing a different event. So the rocket that hit the hospital wasn't captured on video apparently.yuekit
    • What ‘everyone was wrong about’ was that IDF bombed the hospitalGnash
    • .. not some obscure detail about how the explosion happenedGnash
    • It's like you're determined not to understand things at any more than the most superficial level.yuekit
    • Occam's Razor means he thinks it's most likely, not that it's proven Israel didn't strike the hospital.yuekit
    • New York Times and Channel 4 both say it's inconclusive. Associated Press says a failed rocket but they used the wrong video to reach that conclusion.yuekit
    • He also pointed out that the video Israel released claiming it showed the hospital bombing actually cuts out before the bombing happened.yuekit

    • Israel also did shoot at this same hospital just days before the incident. In spite of that I think it can still be a misfired rocket but it's less certainyuekit
    • than when it looked like they had the rocket itself on video falling on the hospital.yuekit
    • You’re even more determined to obscure the discourse with a barrage of minutia. It really is quite simple.Gnash
    • But don’t dispare. Things have just stared and there will be plenty of brutality from the IDF for you post about. This just isn’t the oneGnash
    • Is this similar to your conspiracy about the New York Times using the wrong picture intentionally?yuekit
    • That was imaginary, remember? And similarly I was just following the debate over what happened.yuekit
    • I don't have a secret agenda to "obscure the discourse with a barrage of minutia" whatever that means. Just interesting to watch people try to figure this out.yuekit
    • Another investigation by NYT reaches the same conclusion.

    • by both American and Israeli officials."yuekit
