    The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) are fucking monsters. There is no justification for hitting a hospital full of civilians except to cause pain, suffering, and fear. The IDF is no better than the terrorists that they fight against.

    This is no “accident”. The IDF have some of the most hi-tech weaponry in the world. This is purposeful.

      You should double check whats going on. I’m sure everyone who jumped to conclusions is going to look like a clown in the morning.

      I couldn’t say that confidently when it happened, but now with new information, absolutely.

        The more certain a person is about what is happening over there, the more I assume they are believing whatever they want to hear.

          Absolutely not, at first I thought it was infact an Israeli airstrike, but upon pouring over multiple angles of video that has been geographically confirmed, it’s fairly damning, and fairly convincing that it was not in fact, an Israeli airstrike.

          The incident had been broadcasted live by Al Jazeera too, so even if you have a bias in favor of Hamas and Palestinian struggles, all signs point to a self-inflicted tragedy.

          Despite that, its far too late since everyone already started protesting at embassies in greater numbers. PA president and Jordan leader cancelled meetings with Biden.

          The situation is deteriorating rapidly.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    GAZA, Oct 17 (Reuters) - An Israeli air strike on Tuesday killed hundreds of Palestinians at a Gaza City hospital crammed with patients and displaced people, health authorities in the besieged enclave said.

    The reported strike was the bloodiest single incident since Israel launched an unrelenting bombing campaign against Gaza in retaliation for a deadly cross-border Hamas assault on southern Israeli communities on Oct. 7.

    A civil defence chief in Hamas-ruled Gaza said on Al-Jazeera television that more than 300 people were killed at Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital.

    “There are scores of dismembered and crushed bodies, baths of blood,” Izzat El-Reshiq, a senior Hamas member, said.

    The violence raged as Washington announced that U.S. President Joe Biden would visit Israel on Wednesday to show support for its war on Hamas.

    Israel has flattened parts of densely urbanised Gaza with air strikes, driven around half of its 2.3 million population from their homes, and imposed a total blockade on the enclave, halting food, fuel and medical supplies.


    The original article contains 282 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 41%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Crosspost from another 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?
