Debunked: Israel’s latest attempt to say Palestinians bombed Al Ahli Hospital
The Israeli claim that a Palestinian rocket hit the Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza, killing nearly 500 people, has just been disproved by the New York Times.
At last, a member of the mainstream media is doing what they should all be doing – independently checking the validity of the propaganda coming from the Israel/Gaza conflict.
That includes – in this case – debunking claims by the United States government too.
Here’s Aric Toler of the NYT:

We geolocated five videos that showed this projectile launch from the north, south, east and west. By drawing lines of perspective, three of which can be seen here, we assessed that this project was launched from near the Israeli city of Nahal Oz. pic.twitter.com/ctLo14NpZ2

This projectile may have been launched in reaction to barrages of rockets from Gaza.
A timeline:
1) Palestinian rocket barrages, followed shortly by
2) Israeli projectile launch
3) 17.5 seconds in air before the projectile detonates
4) Explosion at the hospital 7 seconds later pic.twitter.com/fpGunvAznJ— Aric Toler (@AricToler) October 25, 2023
The projectile launched from Israel detonates at least two miles from the hospital, and 25 seconds passed from when the final Palestinian rocket was launched in these videos and the hospital explosion.

The IDF told The Times that it was striking Gaza City that evening, but said that it was not in an area that would endanger the hospital.

Our analysis does not answer what actually did cause the blast or who was responsible, but it does undercut one of the most-publicized pieces of evidence used by both American and Israeli officials.

Lastly: a shout-out to the first person to publicly lay out the case that this may have been an Israeli missile interceptor and not a Palestinian rocket: @ArchieIrving2. He had it on October 19th.https://t.co/p0JpUr4qEu

I await the Israel apologists’ squeals of outrage that their latest lie has been debunked.
More to the point, I await the full disclosure of US monitoring information that has been withheld so far. It’s time the rest of the world had a chance to examine what Israel’s closest ally may be hiding.

Be very careful proving Israeli lies, you may start their Standard Defence Mechanism – Faux Outrage, Tantrums followed by Cruel Sanctions.
Look at the UN right now, being threatened with removal from Israel (less witnesses) because the truth was told.
Typical of Spolied Right Wing Political Bullies – look at the DUP for example.
I think This Site has already been sanctioned as far as possible! Have you seen my hit count lately?
NY TIMES? THAT BASTION OF ANTI-SEMITISM? I WOULDN’T PISS ON THEM FOR NEWS. GEEZ.
No, but then you can’t even remember where you get your information that favours the other side, so…!
Still, nothing changes. There’s so much information, it’s hard to write it down, or remember. Stuck with a dyslexic memory.
Truth is, although FAIR tend to give the NYT a rough time, they’re quite good for debunking blame-shifts like these. They also debunked one of Zelenskyy’s attempts to offload responsibility onto Russia for a rocket hitting a Ukrainian market town last month.
