I’m disappointed in my media. Video and technology experts, military experts, journalists etc. conclude that based on the evidence as of now, the explosion at the hospital was caused by a rocket launched from within Gaza that misfired and fell down in the placa / parking lot near the hospital, causing horrible death and damage to the people gathered there.

Meanwhile, most of the western media I have seen blasted loudly yesterday about an Israeli bomb attack on the hospital without any other source than Hamas, while at best they have changed it today to “Both sides blames the other” in a notice or update no longer visible on the top part front page.

Personally I don’t know who to blame yet, just that the result was horrible. However, I’m extremely disappointed by how one sided views were blasted yesterday uncritically while more informed views are deprioritized today.

No what I heard was a misfired rocket would never have caused such damage and kill count.

No idea what sources you are exposed to, but a misfired rocket seems to be exactly what can cause this sort of damage and hurt. It it was an actual missile attack / bomb, there would be completely different marks: a crater, demolished building walls etc.

Instead, building surfaces are intact. Even roof tiles are intact. No crater. What’s shown, is a lot of heat and burning - from all the left over fuel from a rocket / missile that misfired and landed exploded near the hospital with all the payload and most fuel intact.

I know way too little to source a coherent image together for you, alas.

Dunno what to tell you, that was the reporting I saw on MSNBC
