I remember when my morning poo poo misfired and took out a 1000 people in a hospital once, it happens.

I had something like this happen once. I was once throwing rocks at cars as a kid*, and one of the rocks hit a hospital instead of a car. The hospital is gone now, and I have to live with that guilt.

* this part is actually true, for some reason my friend and I decided to blindly throw rocks over the hill behind my house where cars were driving, using the sound of the cars as a guide. We ended up hitting one (or at least I'm 95% sure we did based off the sound) and realized we should probably stop before getting in major trouble.

Feel bad for the poor person driving around in 1994 who suddenly had a rock come out of nowhere and crack their windshield.

The Fajr-5 has 95 kg of HE in its warhead, and the JDAM can fit a warhead up to 900 kg.

I've read that it was initially reported after 7:20, but I haven't seen one of those reports. Now the IDF claims it was the explosion at 8:00 pm where a Hamas-fired rocket miraculously failed in a way that made it sound just like a JDAM and then it slammed into the hospital

Israel is not bringing their propaganda a game, they've been churning out a bunch of real knee slappers. obviously didn't have time to workshop.

Go to a couple pages before the end and read from there. If anything major happened, it'll become apparent.

The obviously-bullshit propaganda they're putting out isn't for people paying any amount of attention to the conflict, it's so people who hear about poo poo on the news or whatever can just hear "Israel contests these claims" or "an IDF spokesman says Hamas did it" and for the consumption of the psycho pieces of poo poo who support them.

I really hope the mass protests make people realize how awful the situation really is, and Netanyahu's government collapses from within, and we see civil rights granted to the Palestinians. I know I might as well be wishing for a unicorn, but every other alternative is horrific.

Biden: I am outraged and deeply saddened by the explosion at the hospital in Gaza, and the terrible loss of life that resulted. Immediately upon hearing this news, I have directed my national security team to continue gathering information about what exactly happened. The United States stands unequivocally for the protection of civilian life during conflict and we mourn the patients, medical staff and other innocents killed or wounded in this tragedy

yeah its fully impossible

a piece of a damaged rocket cannot go that fast

if it is going that fast it'll tumble and lose its speed very quickly and even if that was happening as it was inbound you'd be able to hear it, that was going in a straight line

yep, after talking to an ex-Navy SEAL who said it couldn't possibly have been a JDAM because it wasn't a precision strike and only a secondary explosion caused damage, not the initial hit (literally opposite of reality), the CNN anchor said, "well it doesn't matter what the facts ultimately are, people will still believe Israel did this" and went on to lament the rush to protest by people in Jordan and Lebanon

that's what the story will be no matter what: blaming Israel because they already hate Israel
