An explosion at the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza was initially attributed to an Israeli airstrike.
U.S. intelligence agencies suggest the explosion may have been caused by a misfired Hamas rocket.
On October 24, 2023, an explosion occurred at the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza, causing significant damage and casualties. The incident was initially attributed to an Israeli airstrike by local sources and Hamas officials. However, subsequent investigations by U.S. intelligence agencies have suggested that the explosion may have been caused by a rocket fired by Hamas that misfired and landed on the hospital.
The New York Times reported that a video circulating on social media showed a rocket being launched from a densely populated area near the hospital, followed by an explosion. The video was analyzed by experts who suggested that the trajectory of the rocket indicated it was likely to have been the cause of the explosion at the hospital.
The Washington Post reported that U.S. intelligence agencies had conducted an independent investigation into the incident. Their findings suggested that the rocket was fired by Hamas, but had misfired and landed on the hospital. The intelligence report was based on satellite imagery and other classified information.
The incident has sparked international concern and calls for a thorough investigation. The Israeli government has denied responsibility for the explosion, while Hamas officials have not commented on the U.S. intelligence report.
The article provides U.S. intelligence perspective, disputing Hamas's claim about the Israeli strike.
