This guy was too quick off the gun. Reporting the air strike over a week too early.

See this is what an airstrike looks like, not a small hole in a car park, and it killed 9 people not 500. That's the difference in figures when you get then from someone not connected to Hamas.

Also it looks like the church itself wasn't hit, it was the surrounding buildings.

So another flattened building is miraculously still standing once dawn breaks.

Edit: yep looks like another fake out.

Likely Hamas stationed themselves near the church to draw fire there and had the story of its destruction prepped and ready and waiting to go. But that damn church just refused to fall.

An Israeli airburst missile won't make a huge hole in a hospital car park full of civilians.

A church in Gaza full of civilians was targeted and hit by an Israeli missile.

Likely you are just another racist with a hard-on for dead Arabs

An airburst missile would likely knock down some of the buildings though, rather than just burning out all the cars, very much like a fuel explosion.

Any evidence the church was directly targeted? Any proof the church itself was hit?

You are just proving that you bots had your story prepped for when that Hamas position drew fire. Otherwise why say that?

Would it? I don't think so. The fuel was in the cars which were directly below the blast.

Israel has a long history of attacking places serving as bomb shelters in Gaza. They also made a direct threat to bomb the hospital before they actually did bomb it.

The fact is - Israel deliberately targeted the church and they deliberately targeted the hospital.
