You're putting a lot of faith in Western intelligence gathering - are you not at all worried that they'd underestimate the death toll to undermine the reporting coming from the Palestinians? Or that they'd cover up a mistake by Israel?
I think it's a pretty verifiable thing and that both sides have motive to push prop.
One just caught lying about this already. I don't mean historically I mean this actual incident.
Instead of waiting as long as we have the ordinance should have been shown through spokesmen immediately and at the press conference the ministry held surrounded by bodies.
It takes time to do a convincing fake. So I expect this debate will reignite later.
One possibility I've heard is there was a rocket intercepted midair, and then that downed rocket caused a secondary explosion. That'd make everyone look bad, though, so neither side wants to talk about it.
The ground invasion (if it ever happens) will make everyone forget about this anyway though.
