"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.

HRW has called for a full investigation and the release of evidence by both authorities in Gaza and Israel.

The investigation analyzed time-coded footage from various sources and concluded that the flash Israel attributed to a misfire was actually consistent with Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system intercepting a missile fired from Gaza and destroying it in mid-air.
