Israeli TV station reveals new livestream footage claiming to be proof rocket fired from Gaza malfunctioned mid-air moments before devastating explosion at hospital that killed hundreds.
An explosion at a hospital in Gaza Tuesday was reported to have killed hundredsAn Israeli TV station has released new footage which it says appears to show rockets fired over a hospital in Gaza just moments before an explosion killed hundreds last night.
News anchor Yonit Levy said: 'This is proof of Israel's claims that it was actually missiles from the Gaza Strip shot in the direction of the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City.' Analysts have also continued to call into question the verifiability of the IDF's 'evidence' - and some have already disputed the TV station's footage.
Officials in Palestine said at least 471 people had been killed and over 300 wounded, some in critical condition. The Palestinian militant group Hamas said after the explosion on Tuesday that the damage to the hospital came from an Israeli air strike. 'The walls stay intact. There are no craters in the parking lot. These are the characteristics that show it was not an aerial munition that hit the parking lot,' he concluded.
In the darkness, it is not clear whether the rocket broke apart or simply lost its trajectory. But moments later, a pair of explosions erupt in the city below - the result of what Israel claims was the rocket falling back to Earth and striking the hospital in Gaza City. Before and after images of the blast site published by Israel allegedly showed the damage could not have been caused by an Israeli airstrike
Finally, in an audio clip ostensibly procured by Israeli military intelligence, two voices allegedly belonging to members of Hamas can be heard discussing the explosion.

Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf said it is a 'complete and utter human tragedy' and called for an independent probe. He added: 'I think what needs to happen is an independent inquiry to show what can really happen. Information now has to come from independent investigators.

Open-source intelligence group GeoConfirmed also said the strike was likely to have been caused by 'a missile launched by a Palestinian group exploded mid-air and one piece fell on the hospital causing an explosion', based on analysis of videos and images of the scene. The London-based Palestinian Return Centre said it was 'deeply horrified by the horrendous air strike by Israel on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in central Gaza, an attack that amounts to state terrorism and a war crime.
