    Crosspost from a similar thread:

    So this here is the current view on the area where supposedly about 500 people died. Also there are allegedly more than 300 wounded.

    Questions I personally have:

    • where is the rubble and where is the bomb crater?
    • why does the building seem undamaged?
    • how do you fit 800 people in this parking lot?

      Well Israel has dropped more bombs this week alone than the entire Afghan war, so it isn’t obscene to think the few hospitals left standing are overcrowded by the thousands. If OSINT is to be believed, it hit the parking lot and wiped out that many people, its a pretty fucking big parking lot. And if it was Hamas, they do not have as powerful of payloads as Israel, so I would assume they were just too weak to collapse the building.

      Also it’s unclear how many people died.

      Turns out taking the hamas series of events at face value won’t link up with reality down the line

        And too many people where just too happy to jump to conclusions if that conclusion is allowing them to shit on Israel further.

        I don’t think I’ve ever seen misinformation being gobbled up so willingly by so many before - the internet was just ready to condemn Israel for whatever they could get their hands on.

        And as if one needed proof that Anti-Zionism is just a disguise for Anti-Semitism directly after that claim of Israel being responsible in Berlin people already started spraying Stards of David on houses that jews where living and threw a molotov at a synagogue.

        And we needed to reach 2023 to realize terrorists can’t be trusted, heh.

      how do you fit 800 people in this parking lot?

      have you heard of multi level buildings?

        I wonder why 800 people would huddle in one building that’s supposed to be off limits to bombs right now. Really boggles the mind yeah? /s

          Here’s a source explaining what happened since I guess no one taught you keyboard ninjas how to do actual research.

          Canon Richard Sewell, the dean of St George’s College in Jerusalem, told the BBC that about 1,000 displaced people were sheltering in the courtyard when it was hit, and about 600 patients and staff were inside the building.

          There was, but then it got blown up by a rocket. I suggest the opposite: we all take more mushrooms.

      I can see in that video, one of the cars got flipped upside down. Whatever detonated there had a significant blast.
