IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Daniel Hagari on Wednesday laid out the IDF’s full comprehensive intelligence case to prove that an Islamic Jihad failed rocket caused the damage Tuesday night to a Gaza hospital, leading to a still-unclear, but large, number of Palestinian civilian deaths. The chief spokesman presented actual audio recordings in which Islamic Jihad members say out loud that they are responsible for the explosion. Hagari also presented a detailed video on top of earlier videos put out by Israel’s public relations apparatus showing different stages of the rocket’s trajectory and the layout of the hospital being hit…Moreover, he said the PIJ rocket was fired from a cemetery next to the hospital and hit a parking lot next to the hospital which likely had terror munitions, which caused further damage.

FDD Hamas Unwittingly Admits Gaza Rockets Are Prone to Misfire Mark Dubowitz: “Hamas has been hoisted by its own petard. Its lies are collapsing upon themselves. It rushed to blame Israel within an hour of the hospital blast, and to assert a staggering death toll that could not credibly have been ascertained in that short a time. Too many international media and observers bought it…We know from Israeli radar trackers that at least 450 terrorist rockets have landed within Gaza since this war began on October 7 — an almost 10 percent ‘friendly fire’ rate. That will only rise as Hamas and Islamic Jihad feel the pressure of the IDF counter-offensive. Is it too much to ask that, from now on, no one listen to their lies?”

FEDERALIST Press Must Be Held Accountable For Fake Gaza Story That Instigated Violence Worldwide Tablet’s Armin Rosen, a really great reporter who’s no stranger to covering Israel and the Middle East, had this to say about the erroneous media coverage of a missile that supposedly hit a hospital in Gaza on Wednesday: Last night was the worst media f-ckup I’ve ever seen. In terms of the range/seriousness of info gotten wrong, #/prestige/geographic diversity of outlets that f-cked up, overall credulousness, real-world impact, the lack of reflection/remorse etc. Scores a 10 in every category.
