Horrified doctors stood among a sea of children killed after a massive blast tore through a hospital in Gaza with fears more than 500 people are dead and scores more are trapped under the rubble.
The huge explosion tore through the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday night while it was being used to treat and shelter thousands of civilians amid the ongoing conflict.
The devastating fireball has sparked a venomous blame game between Hamas and Israel, with both sides blaming armed forces across the border for the destruction and furiously denying it was their fault.

Hamas has no problem murdering kids for optics.

I saw in an article somewhere earlier that El Zazeera (spelling?) had shown video proving it was Hamas rockets. If they show that kind of video blaming Arabs, I don't think there is much room for argument.

Just like clockwork. We just watched the government planned murder, rape, torture and what do you even call baby beheadings of Israelis planned by Hamas and Iran. Why is there any question who did this? Hamas needed dead Palestinian babies. Hamas produced dead babies.

My bet is that Hamas had an ammo dump in the hospital or under it, and tgeir home made garbage weapons detonated. The only question is from a Hamas rocket gone awry or just because they were unstable home made explosive devices.

Can't get an explosion that size from one weapon going off. Had to be a Hamas ammo storage area in or under the hospital.

I agree with #4 above, as it is hard to believe that one homemade Hamas rocket could cause enough catastrophic damage to kill over 500 people, it’s more likely that a homemade Hamas rocket malfunctioned and the warhead came down into the hospital and caused a Hamas ammunition dump hidden in that hospital building to detonate.

NEWS ALERT: When you make 5-Inch Rockets out of old used sewer pipe - $hit Happens. These rockets were made from torn out of the street sewer pipes. Look at Hamas videos/podcast/x/tik tok/etc. They were proud of the rockets they made. They're lucky they didn't have more accidents especially when they launch around schools, mosques, hospitals, etc.

This is total BS, look at the Al Jazaria video of the rocket launched from Gaza hitting the hospital, if it hasn't been taken down. They did it themselves!

Same old script. The terrorists kill civilians, then blame it on Israel and demand a cease fire before Israel can respond. SSDD. Just get it done, Benjamin.

Spelling always counts when making a point.

Anyway, as always happens, they blow up their own people and blame Israel and the world's press pushes their lies with an uncritical eye and our own hateful traitorous politicians repeat it as well even after it was proven to be a lie.

Who has a long history of killing their own civilians for propaganda and human shield purposes? I believe this is the same hospital that was given two hours to evacuate at least four days before.

If the people in Gaza weren't so brainwashed to hate Isreal, they would see this hospital explosion as just another example of hoe Hamas does not care about the; but sees them as disposable pawns. It would be nice to see them turn on Hamas, finally realizing that they are a bigger threat to Palestinians than Israel ever was.

#4 is likely to be correct. Hamas likes locating ordnance near sensitive targets. Only terrorists would do that. They managed to set off a stockpile of explosives, destroy a hospital and kill 500. That's real uncoordination. Israel has always taken care to minimize civilian casualties; Hamas wants them. May the IDF reduce Hamas to nugatory strength, kill all their jihadis, and leave them in the sun.

This optics of this bombing is exactly why Israel wouldn't have bombed the hospital. However, the bombing of the hospital by Hamas and then blaming it on Israel is the perfect optic for Hamas. It's exactly what an Islamic group would do to get world opinion on their side.

Anyone believe this attack was an accident? Hamass showed themselves for the monsters they are. Now they have to drag Israel down to the same level for moral equivalency. It won't work. Monsters always behave like monsters. They cannot hide their true nature. Civilized people do not behave like monsters. The Israelis are the civilized people here.

I have no problem believing Hamas killed these children. They have been orchestrating horrific, photo-op circumstances for decades.

Ask yourself how could Israel purposefully bombing a big hospital in Gaza full of Muslim Palestinians help Israel in this war started by the Hamas Islamist terrorist organization? Common sense will tell you that is there is no way any such bombing of a Muslim hospital in Gaza would be advantageous to Israel. Chances are a crude terrorist rocket malfunctioned with the warhead landing in the hospital causing a hidden Hamas terrorist ammunition dump there to explode, or the Hamas terrorist organization purposefully blew up the hospital murdering whatever number of people were in the hospital for strategic propaganda purposes, as we are now seeing playing out across the Middle East.

Whether is was Israel's bomb or not Hamas is to blame. They started it. What did they expect to happen?

A few minutes before the hospital was hit, Hamas posted on social media that it was about to launch a missile barrage on Haifa. No missiles hit Haifa but the hospital was hit and subsequently exploded.
