People keep saying this but it’s not true. Here’s a case from 2014 where the consensus is the munition was Israeli, with the eyewitness account of a NBC reporter. The impact was indirect with. The excuse is even the same, they blamed ‘gaza terrorists’, not Hamas directly. That doesn’t mean its the same this time it’s not a given that Israeli munitions would simply level the hospital.
People seem to believe that every single bomb/missile that is being launched by the IDF into Gaza is going to be capable of or intended to level entire buildings for some reason…
This us such a weird assumption, but I guess a lot of people don’t understand that military forces use varied munitions depending on target hardness, density, etc.
There’s also a misconception about equating JDAMs with Israeli bombs in a strict sense, where people start to assume every Israeli bomb is a JDAM but thats not true either.

Yeah, good point because another crazy post I saw from someone today argued that it WAS a JDAM that hit near the hospital…
There’s a lot of people that seem to think they got their degree in military tactics and munitions from upstairs college this week.
