I didn’t think making fun of terrorists could be controversial until today nyaa~
Well if you are like “hurr durr 3rd parties”.
The most ironic part of this is that Al Jazeera happened to live stream 2 angles of the entire incident. You can see the rocket launches, and the failed booster of the specific rocket, synced with phones on the ground already recording because they noticed the launch.
You can see how the rocket booster failed over the hospital, and then the explosion.
The videos were geographically confirmed by Geoconfirmed on Twitter, who only geoconfirms things without more analysis.
US intelligence is corroborating this with satellite imagery.
Hamas doesn’t have the firepower to cause that big of an explosion, but Islamic Jihad definitely has more powerful rockets that could have done that. They announced a launch like 4 minutes prior to the strike on their telegram I believe.
Context:
NYT, WSJ, and other news media have started to report that US Intel confirms it was a failed militant rocket through infrared imagery.
Downvotes are legitimately, copium.
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.
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.
Some of the sources I wanted to sub to but could never afford it are TIME magazine and The Atlantic.
WSJ I don’t believe gives all it’s articles to Apple. Could be wrong.
I wish the NYT was still in there, but they pulled out a while back.
I think The Guardian is in there though.
