Inside Gaza, cut off from the world by a near total blockade, Israeli airstrikes have decimated entire neighborhoods, leveling homes, schools and mosques. CNN drone footage from Monday showed the level of destruction across parts of the strip, with whole streets flattened in the al-Rimal neighborhood in Gaza City and a row of destroyed buildings known as al-Zahra towers in central Gaza.
Save the Children said Monday that over 1 million children are “trapped” in Gaza with no safe place to go and warned of the devastating impacts of lacking medication and electricity to power vital health infrastructure in the enclave.
“At least 2,000 children have been killed in Gaza over the past 17 days, and a further 27 killed in the West Bank,” the aid agency said on Monday.
“We call on all parties to take immediate steps to protect the lives of children, and on the international community to support those efforts,” Save the Children said, adding that Israeli airstrikes are “killing and injuring children indiscriminately.”
Reports (Doppler sound analysis and crater analysis) show that it came from the direction of Israel. There isn’t any video of a rocket turning around so idk how it could have been a pij rocket.
Both sides are doing a lot of lying tho, we need an independent investigation on the ground there to really figure out what happened, but Israel opposed that.
Uh can you cite any of that “Doppler sound analysis and crater analysis”? Because from what I’ve seen so far, the damage, crater, and footage are all wildly inconsistent with an Israeli munition, and it’s a known fact that this point that militants were firing rockets nearby.
Here’s the Doppler analysis: https://twitter.com/earshot_ngo/status/1715381907230232929?t=ThRPeh4fxC8c_uIbLJAWNQ&s=19
Here’s the crater analysis: https://twitter.com/ForensicArchi/status/1715422498852843574?t=wRAbOY1NPlRu4fx5gJ_Qzg&s=19
And the rocket thing doesn’t make any sense, the rocket would have had to turn 180 degrees in the air in order to line up with the direction, and we don’t see that in any videos. On top of that, the New York times did an analysis of the footage Israel presented and showed that they were lying about the rocket, it didn’t get intercepted/malfunction over the hospital. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/24/world/middleeast/gaza-hospital-israel-hamas-video.html?smid=url-share
So what we know is that the projectile came from Israels direction, the crater lines up with either a rocket or an artillery shell. We also know that Israel initially claimed the attack before deleting those messages, and most of the evidence they’ve presented has been proven to be lies. It’s not definitely Israel, but circumstantial evidence points towards them.
