Israel is claiming that some rockets launched by Hamas towards Israel went off course and hit the hospital.

I remember Russia staging a "Ukrainian missle attack", but they were so bad at it that the damage was on the side of buildings facing away from Ukraine. Should be pretty easy to check that here too...

Are you referring to this, where the NYT reports the opposite happened? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/18/world/europe/ukraine-missile-kostiantynivka-market.html

No, this was something that happened sometime last year. I tried to find one of the articles but I wasn't able to. There was a lightly damaged building, with damage from an angle that couldn't be hit by a weapon coming from Ukraine. There were pictures showing "American" weapon fragments. It was comically bad/obvious. It was reported by Russian State media iirc.

I would be easily convinced I was wrong if you'd show any sort of proof. So take your imperialist ass and shove yourself in a wood chipper or a mineshaft if you are unwilling to spend 5 minutes googling to prove your claim or prove yourself wrong.

The rockets Hamas fires can barely punch a hole in a wall, and this explosion basically leveled the whole hospital. It's just a ridiculous claim.

It blew up a car park the hospital is still operating lol

The scale of boom the IDF is dropping is an order of magnitude larger than Hamas missiles.

It's insane to think that one (or even more than one) missile could destroy a hospital.

Did you see the OH bombing aftermath? Low explosives can still pack a hefty punch, and the hospital is by no means "destroyed".
