Israeli air strike hits Gaza hospital sheltering thousands of war-displaced
Israeli air strike hits the al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City where thousands are seeking safety and treatment.
This is so fucked.
Yep, definitely a step I was not expecting.
US President Joe Biden will once again emphasise Israel's “right and duty” to defend itself.
Aftermath
Hamas says it was IDF, IDF says it ways the Islamic Jihad.
What's certain is that this whole situation is FUBAR.

So messed up of Israel.
There's a pretty good chance this was an own goal.
Posting this before it's clear what caused this is borderline misinformation.
EDIT: this compounds the existing lack of medical supplies and equipment, already stretched extra thin after Hamas stole truckloads of fuel and medical supplies from the UN earlier this week.
I've heard this somewhere before... When a Ukrainian building got blown up recently.
OH IT WAS PROBABLY THEIR OWN.
Or maybe they're just being bombed all the time?
You realise that more bombs have been dropped in Gaza this last week than an entire year of the war in Afghanistan?
I'm saying wait a few hours at least, maybe a day. If it was rockets Israel will jump to publish video showing it.

We're in a thread about an AJ article so let's base it on the same source: 7423 in all of 2019.

And only 6000 in the last week:
So not yet, but it is a lot of bombs.
Bombing a hospital is half a step behind carpet bombing the whole place. Did not expect it to escalate like this, so I second the motion to get verification
So how did this independent investigation should work exactly, when all the border crossings are closed?
Oh wait Palestinians also don't have access to water, fuel or electricity, they cannot escape to a neighbouring country, they are told to go south, and then bombed even there. But of course none of this is considered a war crime because Israel has the right to defend themselves and apparently the right to designate what amounts to a war crime too.
Israel claims an Islamic Jihad rocket misfired and hit a hidden ammo dump in or near the hospital.
Update:
IDF: An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit.
Intelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicates that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza.
