Here's a tweet I can find about at least that specific video being from 2022.

unsurprisingly the claim that somehow hamas did this is based on absolute bullshit

Israel says that the hospital were previously warned to evacuate.

Like that's a thing that can be accomplished easily. In a war zone. With hundreds of patients coming in daily. ffs

Well I for one think it's awful decent of Israel to warn the hospital to evacuate before a Hamas rocket misfires there.

MSF is coming down on "Israel did it" as of now. Given that they are who they are I would imagine they were keeping tabs on the hospital, and there were MSF doctors practicing there when it got hit.

From the river (of Palestinian blood) to the sea (of Palestinian tears)
IDF now saying they didn't warn the hospital at all, walking back and retracting their spokesperson's previous claim, and have posted what they claim is evidence that it wasn't them or hamas, but actually PIJ.

Al-Jazeera is saying Israeli did it, as are many other live news streams. Still no actual evidence of Israel having done this has been released, and the only footage released that fits the rough time the hospital was hit does appear to show rockets fired from within Gaza landing on Gaza.

If it turns out the IDF isn't actually responsible for this one, there has been some staggeringly foolish reporting going on. But lies travel faster around the world than truths, or something.

The notion that the PIJ or Hamas is making rockets capable of that kind of damage out of junkyard scrap and smuggled parts is pretty laughable. Doubly so considering that we have ample evidence of what their munitions are capable of in Israel and they've never come close to what took out a whole hospital like that.

If the video I saw is right (big fiery explosion) then it looked like the hospital was destroyed because the initial missile strike detonated something else (possibly stored fuel, oxygen or something else a hospital could reasonably have). If the actual destruction was caused by a secondary explosion the power of the missile doesn't matter that much. That said the video I saw also didn't have a visible rocket which would imply a dropped bomb by the Israelis.

All of the footage is poo poo though and both sides will 100% lie their asses off so you can't really trust anything at the moment.

Yeah, if Palestinian militants had their hands on this kind of firepower they wouldn't have sat on it until a week into the war, we would have seen 5-10x the casualties in the initial attack from their terrifying building-leveling rockets.

Depressingly, I think this take is more or less correct. Biden trying to tap the brakes even slightly is unacceptable to Netanyahu and his supporters and now they're trying to escalate things enough that the U.S. is forced to go all in.

This appears to show a missile interception maybe being the cause. No time stamp on this but it does appear to show the hospital explosion from a great distance, and the missile interception footage matches previously released images that had different timestamps, though.

Link?

I don't think the hospital was destroyed. I read witnesses on BBC saying that part of the hospital's roof has collapsed and there were broken windows.

The very first reports all mentioned the hospital courtyard being hit, not the building itself.

The very fact that the IDF had a spokesperson make a claim that they warned a hospital before it was struck is such a damning piece of evidence I'm not sure why deference is being given to the IDF as if the last thirty years haven't consistently shown them to be unreliable.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
Some of y'all are likely already aware but this "reusing old attack footage" poo poo is practically ubiquitous low-level disinformation and something to be constantly on the lookout for.

They're not saying "the carrier group is there to deter attacks on Israel, while permitting Israel to attack its neighbors," that's correct, they're merely saying "the carrier group is there to deter attacks on Israel," while permitting Israel to attack its neighbors. Is that a meaningful distinction?

Yes, very much so, when it's attributed to their statement.

The problem is that the second one is implying that the event is inherently misleading because the Ministry of Health is ran by Hamas. Reuters’ headline is better: “At least 300 dead in Gaza hospital bombing, local authorities say”

The implications aren’t as damning as AP’s.

I'm not sure the purpose of the attribution is to imply that the event is inherently misleading because the Ministry of Health is run by Hamas; it is however a significant limitation of the claim when it's not separately verified. Either the Reuters or the revised AP writeup is better than the original AP writeup.
