A 33-year-old Dutch woman has been killed in an explosion in Gaza. Islam al-Ashqar was visiting relatives at the Nusairat refugee camp in central Gaza and was one of 22 Dutch nationals the ministry was trying to help leave. Israel bombed the local evening market in the camp on Saturday night.

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.
