"Exploring the Gaza Hospital Blast: Evidence, Blame, and Humanitarian Aid"

A deadly blast at Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City has sparked a blame game between Hamas-controlled Palestinian authorities and Israel, with both sides giving conflicting accounts. BBC Verify is examining video footage, imagery, and eyewitness accounts to determine the cause of the explosion, but experts have so far been unable to reach a conclusive answer. The available evidence suggests that the blast may have been caused by a failed rocket section hitting the hospital's car park and causing a fuel and propellant fire. The nature of the crater and the absence of missile fragments are among the missing pieces of evidence. The Israel Defense Forces claim that the explosion was not caused by their weapons, while a recording released by the IDF suggests that the hospital was hit by a projectile fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
