Hamas Claims 900 Dead in Hospital Strike by Israel, Videos Raise Serious Questions
In perhaps the biggest news of the Israeli-Hamas war since the initial attacks on October 7th, claims are circulating that the Israeli Air Force bombed a hospital in Gaza. But like the claim that Israel bombed a highway some days ago that was debunked through video analysis, there appears to be more to this story.
Here are some of the initial videos and statements being made.
Let me preface the rest of this article by saying I don't know exactly what struck the hospital nor how badly it was actually hit. With that said, anytime Hamas reports something, it should be put through some kind of critical analysis.
~Snip~
For example, on its face, the reported death toll makes no sense. We are being asked to believe that in under an hour, Hamas was able to put out the fires, clear the rubble, and accurately count how many people died in the explosion. That is simply impossible, even as a close estimate.
The best governments in the world would take a week to figure out a preliminary number of dead in a situation like this, yet the claimed death toll went from 200 initially to 500 within a few minutes, and within an hour, Hamas was claiming 900 dead.
That's not to say this isn't a mass casualty event. Given the fact that Hamas likes to store weapons under hospitals, it's very possible that whatever struck the building ignited a much larger explosion (something caused the massive, accelerated fires shown in various videos, and high explosives from bombs don't normally do that).
~Snip~
Regardless, the message here should be caution. The sun will come up and there we will be able to get a better idea of the damage. Further, various videos will no doubt come out perhaps confirming what actually was flying through the air. Until then, no media outlet should be reporting anything without question.
Commentary:
Regardless of the truth there are Hamas supporters and sympathizers in the West who will believe and become enraged by this propaganda. Tlaib, Omar and Bowman sitting members of Congress have already given credibility to the propaganda.
Lone wolf crazies or the terrorists who walked across Biden’s open borders will seek to inflict harm to the American people. Biden’s politicized FBI may be effective in tracking Catholics, who like the Latin mass, and concerned parents who speak at school board meetings, and MAGA voters but can they find and stop terrorists?
The results remain to be wanting and seen.
BTW, the so called number of supposed dead in this Hamas propaganda ploy has risen to 1,000.
Furthermore, A hospital to hold 900 people, or even 500, would be quite large. No aircraft carried bomb would be powerful enough to produce an explosion that large IMO. I've seen 500lb bombs go off in Vietnam. The crater left would a least 20ft. deep.
Photos today show no crater(s). The damage was restricted to the parking lot.
Images show a blast area in the main parking area of the compound with no significant structural damage to the adjacent buildings observed (European Space Imaging)
Seems the errant Hamas rocket landed in the parking lot NOT the hospital.
Yet the Big lie by Hamas and their Quisling Media will continue to lie.
