After a Gaza hospital blast killed 500+, Israel rejected Hamas' accusation that it was an Israeli rocket. Instead, Israel blamed an Islamic Jihad rocket misfiring, releasing pre and post-strike videos showing the building on fire but minimal damage. Israel said its rockets create craters, absent here. The IDF tweet alleged it was a failed Islamic Jihad launch. Gaza health authorities described chaotic scenes evacuating the dead and wounded to other hospitals. Israel maintained it doesn't target civilian infrastructure, while Palestinians accused it of a massacre.
