2) Within minutes, the Gaza Health Ministry accused the
IDF, and claimed that "over 500" were killed.
From your own source: "International media initially reported that over 500 Palestinians were killed according to the Gaza Health Ministry, but this
was a mistranslation of a report that had mentioned over 500 total victims, including injured."
"The Gaza Health Ministry later reported a more precise figure of 471[sic] killed and 342 wounded."
This tells much about the "accuracy" of Gaza losses, as reported by
Hamas and other sources in Gaza.
3) It turned out that the hospital was hit by an Islamic
Jihad rocket.
No, no. Turned out Jews claimed it was hit by “Islamic Jihad rocket.”
No, no, it was an Islamic Jihad rocket, which exploded in Gaza, as
have numerous other IJ and Hamas rockets.
"The Associated Press (AP) concluded on 20 October, from analyzing "more than a dozen videos from the
moments before, during and after the hospital explosion, as well as satellite imagery and photos", that
a rocket was "fired from within Palestinian territory"
"AP reported that its preliminary conclusion was supported by experts in open-source intelligence,
geolocation, and rocketry, "who all agreed the most likely scenario was a rocket from within Gaza that
veered off and came apart seconds before the explosion."
"Other factors cited by AP (sometimes attributed to identified experts) include the fact that Palestinian
rockets would fail and fall inside Gaza in the past, the inconsistency of the damage and crater with
Israeli air strikes (clarified further to be inconsistency with the use of "large bombs"), the
inconsistency with other weapons such as artillery, mortars, car bombs or suicide vests, and the
inability of Palestinians to produce evidence of Israeli munitions at Al-Ahli. AP quoted N.R.
Jenzen-Jones as saying "the most likely explanation would be a failed militant rocket that was still
full of highly flammable propellent"
etc. etc. etc.
