Hundreds killed in Gaza hospital blast, West Bank protests flare | Reuters

Statement from Israeli government:

...all indications are that this was not Israeli orders, that this was rather, a Hamas rocket that fell short.

From past conflicts with the terrorists in Gaza, we know that on average about 33% of rockets that they shoot at us, fall short and land in Gaza.

If this happens to be the case - and it does not surprise me one bit that Hamas sees Gaza's civilian population as cannon fodder/collateral damage, one in three of their own rockets hitting their own people - there are still a million articles and items and social media comments pushing the narrative blaming Israel.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

GAZA, Oct 17 (Reuters) - An Israeli air strike on Tuesday killed hundreds of Palestinians at a Gaza City hospital crammed with patients and displaced people, health authorities in the besieged enclave said.

The reported strike was the bloodiest single incident since Israel launched an unrelenting bombing campaign against Gaza in retaliation for a deadly cross-border Hamas assault on southern Israeli communities on Oct. 7.

A civil defence chief in Hamas-ruled Gaza said on Al-Jazeera television that more than 300 people were killed at Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital.

"There are scores of dismembered and crushed bodies, baths of blood," Izzat El-Reshiq, a senior Hamas member, said.

The violence raged as Washington announced that U.S. President Joe Biden would visit Israel on Wednesday to show support for its war on Hamas.

Israel has flattened parts of densely urbanised Gaza with air strikes, driven around half of its 2.3 million population from their homes, and imposed a total blockade on the enclave, halting food, fuel and medical supplies.
