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

Alas, large media are horrible in reporting on this conflict :/
