Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Given the IDF literally used Al Jazeera's footage to cement it's claims, I think it's more than fair that they responded back. Some in the quote replies on twitter and youtube comments are saying this isn't how the Iron Dome works, which I'm not sure about. But other than that, it seems like a decent explanation. Shows the difference between actual journalism and Twitter "OSINT" experts.

Here is what the video says:

It analyzed the live feed from 18:45 PM and identified 4 Israeli air strikes targeting the area near the hospital at 18:54:28, 18:55:03, 18:57:42, and 18:58:04. Another video was used to cross-reference these air strikes, from a camera south of Tel Aviv.

This other video shows a series of rocket launches from Gaza which were intercepted by the Iron Dome. In both the Al Jazeera feed and the Tel Aviv feed, one rocket from Gaza was intercepted at 18:59:50. [This is where the criticism I have seen comes from. Some people claim the rocket was in the "launch phase" and couldn't be intercepted by the Iron Dome yet, and I don't know how true either of those claims are. Just thought I should mention it here].

This was the last rocket launched from Gaza and was before the bombing of the hospital. Al Jazeera shows it being completely destroyed and broken apart in the sky. 5 seconds later, there is an explosion in Gaza, followed 2 seconds later by a larger explosion. This is the strike that hit the hospital.

Al Jazeera's office is probably about to get blown up by a failed Palestinian rocket any minute now too.
