Yeah, I don't agree with what Israel is doing in Gaza and am under no illusions that the IDF doesn't do bad things, but the evidence just doesn't back up the "hospital airstrike with 500 dead" claims. Footage shows a rocket fired from inside Gaza misfiring and landing in a parking lot next to the hospital. The geolocation of the footage has been verified. The visible damage is burned up cars in a parking lot. The actual hospital wasn't hit by anything and the damage is way more consistent with burning rocket fuel than a high explosive detonation, which would have left a massive crater where the parking lot used to be.
