An Al Jazeera digital investigation found no grounds for the Israeli army's claim that the strike on the al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza was caused by a failed rocket launch.

Here's new article on the Gaza hospital blast. Note that there was a crater, and an airburst was unlikely. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/cnn-investigates-forensic-analysis-of-images-and-videos-suggests-rocket-caused-gaza-hospital-blast-not-israeli-airstrike/ar-AA1iD2nc

A broken rocket falling from the sky does not make that screeching noise as it arrives. A JDAM does.

Another nighttime video of the blast, which appears to have been filmed on a mobile phone from a balcony and was also geolocated by CNN, captures a whooshing sound before the sky lights up and a large explosion erupts.

Two weapons experts who reviewed the footage for CNN said that the sound in the video was not consistent with that of a high-grade military explosive, such as a bomb or shell. Both said that it was not possible to form any definitive conclusions from the audio in the clip, caveating that the mobile phone could have affected the reliability of the sound.

There have been several videos floating around that show quite clearly that Hamas rockets do not make that sound, especially Hamas rocket fragments. The only thing that makes that noise is a missile hitting its target full force. Again, there are videos showing that some Israeli rockets make that exact sound.

As my link said, the size of the crater does not match that of an Israeli missile.

As my link said, it does.
