World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I'd be interested in evidence that supports either claim.

A photo outside the hospital shows some scorched concrete and burnt cars, but no crater or anything you'd really expect from a military bomb. The IDF also supplied intercepted audio of Hamas fighters discussing a botched missile launch:
There is also evidence that there was a barrage of rockets fired at around the same time.
Naturally this is from the IDF, who aren't unbiased. Speaking only for myself though, I really can't possibly imagine what Israel would stand to gain from doing this.
Israel would have claimed it a military target and use that excuse. They have no reason to deny the bombing.
They have admitted to other bombings in the past such as ambulances because they were valid military targets.
I see no reason for Israel to lie about this as they have public support right now.
In 2014 they bombed a hospital and blamed Hamas. They didn't say it was a legitimate military target, they said Hamas did it. So historically your claim is untrue.
You have a cite? This is all I could find and Israel said they did it.

Same conflict but different hospital.
Thank. I’ll read through those.
No they don’t but they did downvote you for sharing something they didn’t like lol
https://www.newsweek.com/mysterious-case-gazas-al-shifa-hospital-262086 OK Buddy. They even used the same exact excuse, saying it was "gaza terrorists" instead of naming Hamas directly. But continue to talk shit with no sources of your own.
Normally Israel just says they were taking fire or munitions were being there, etc.
It’s why they normally just say, yep we did it. It’s not a violation of the rules of war to bomb military targets even if it’s a hospital.
It looks bad but it isn’t a violation.
Right now the world is on the side of Israel. So they’re more like to say look at Hamas. They’re using the hospital to attack us and the world would say we get it.
Why I suspect a failed Hamas attack.
