"Human Rights Watch: Gaza Hospital Blast Likely Caused by Rocket Misfire"

Human Rights Watch (HRW) has stated that evidence suggests a misfired rocket was the likely cause of the deadly explosion at Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza on October 17. The explosion, which resulted in heavy casualties, triggered outrage and was fiercely disputed by both Palestinians and Israelis. HRW's investigation, based on various sources, including photos, videos, satellite imagery, and witness interviews, supports the theory of a misfired Palestinian rocket. The death toll remains disputed, with the health ministry in Gaza reporting 471 deaths, while Israel disputes this figure. HRW has called for a full investigation and the release of evidence by both authorities in Gaza and Israel.
