Unraveling the Truth: Open Source Videos Expose Gaza Hospital Explosion

The United Nations has called for an independent international investigation into the explosion at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, with conflicting claims from Palestinian officials, the Israeli army, and the United States. Video analysis by news organizations, including Al Jazeera and Channel 4, has found no conclusive evidence to determine the cause of the explosion. While the Israeli army claims it was a failed rocket launch, Al Jazeera's investigation suggests it was an interception by Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system. The use of a different type of artillery cannot be ruled out. The investigation is ongoing, and evidence such as missile fragments is still missing.
