Looks like evidence has been published, and at least partially verified by OSINT groups (in the linked article)
Can you help me find that bit? I read the article and briefing, but didn’t see this addressed.
The Guardian had it in their coverage:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/oct/18/israel-hamas-war-live-news-gaza-hospital-west-bank-update-joe-biden-visit-protests-latest-updates?page=with:block-652f822b8f085b7fcf67317c#block-652f822b8f085b7fcf67317c
I’m not an expert but this doesn’t sound very plausible considering the explosion basically leveled the building. Anyone with relevant expertise care to chime in?
What I’m seeing pro-Israel sources saying is that the building is relatively intact and that the explosion took place in a parking lot. Given that Hamas stated “500 deaths” less than half an hour after the event, they also express some skepticism about how true the casualty count really is.
I’ll only say that this is a total mess right now and that everything should be seen with some skepticism, especially claims that reinforce what you already believe or want to believe.
We’ve already seen the building. It was flattened.
Edit: Apparently no it wasn’t.
Honest question, do you have a picture of it? I’ve been incredibly confused about what the true state of the site is. I just saw a video showing the scorched parking lot with a bunch of burnt cars but no real structural damage to buildings around it.
I just looked up “Gaza hospital airstrike” and looked for images so you’ll probably find them, but there.

That image is from five days ago.
Perhaps you can understand why this has been so frustrating lol
Why do you think it leveled the building? Have you seen such evidence?
I mean yes I’ve seen a picture of it. Aren’t those already on the internet?
Then you’ve been mislead. It hit the parking lot, damaged vehicles but left the building relatively intact and, besides windows, superficially damaged.
Here’s a video from the place of the explosion - I see no leveled buildings there, just the burned parking lot.
