"Errant Rocket from Gaza Causes Hospital Explosion, AP Analysis Reveals"

An analysis by The Associated Press (AP) suggests that a rocket fired from within Palestinian territory in Gaza likely went astray and caused an explosion at Gaza City's al-Ahli Baptist Hospital. The AP reviewed videos, satellite imagery, and photos, concluding that the rocket broke up in the air before crashing to the ground, causing the hospital explosion. While there is no definitive proof, experts in open-source intelligence and rocketry support AP's assessment. The Hamas-run health ministry initially blamed an Israeli airstrike, but Israel produced evidence showing it was caused by a failed rocket launch by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group.
