Israel denied striking hospital. Evidence shows [View all]

that they did indeed strike it.

The article below is a "free" gifted article. It's fairly long and very indepth including a stop motion frame by frame video of an Israeli shell flying through the air aimed directly at the hospital. It's quite remarkable footage really and something we never would have seen during the Iraq war but cameras have advanced so much with the amount of frames per second.

Minutes after 1 a.m. Friday, as active fighting raged between Israeli forces and Hamas militants, a projectile streaked over Gaza’s largest medical complex and crashed into the center of the courtyard of Al-Shifa Hospital, a place where thousands of displaced Gazans had sought shelter.

It landed just a few feet from Ahmed Hijazi, a social media personality who has been documenting the conflict. He filmed a video of the projectile flying in, and then of a man in agony, his leg mangled by the impact.

Big snip ahead -

Hours after the final blast, the Israeli military blamed unspecified Palestinian militants, saying a “misfired projectile” aimed at Israel Defense Forces troops deployed nearby had instead hit the hospital.

But at least three of the projectiles that struck it appear to have been Israeli munitions, according to pictures of weapons fragments collected and verified by The New York Times and analyzed by experts.
