Social media accounts belonging to the State of Israel and the Israeli ambassador to the US appear to have deleted a video on posts claiming that a rocket fired from within Gaza caused the deadly explosion at Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City.
The video showed a barrage of rockets being fired, with one appearing to go off-course in a downward trajectory, followed by the flash of an apparent explosion.
Both accounts edited their posts after Aric Toler, a journalist with the New York Times visual investigations team, questioned the time stamps on the video.
Those time stamps indicated that the video was recorded at least 40 minutes after the explosion at the hospital was first publicly reported, Toler said.
It was not clear if the video was removed from the Israeli accounts on X as a result of Toler’s analysis.
Both Israeli accounts kept the original text in their posts following the edit, which repeated the Israeli military’s previous statement that the strike on the hospital was the result of an off-course rocket launched by the ISIL (ISIS) group.

From WSJ: “Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said in a briefing early Wednesday morning that no Israeli strike, either by air, land or sea, occurred near Al-Ahli Arab Hospital at the time of the deadly explosion. He added that drone footage, radar information and a recording of Gaza militants indicate a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket was responsible.
He said the Israeli military would soon publish the radar info, footage and a recording of militants in Gaza assigning blame to Islamic Jihad, a group aligned with Hamas. All the information, Hagari said, would be given to President Biden as part of a “full briefing” when the U.S. leader arrives in Israel Wednesday.
Palestinian Ambassador to the U.N. Riyad Mansour accused Israel of carrying out the strike, calling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a liar for blaming the strike on the armed group Islamic Jihad. “Now they change the story to try to blame the Palestinians. It is a lie,” Mansour said during a press conference at the U.N. headquarters.”
We’ll see what they have, but my guess is it wasn’t the Israelis.
Buying their missiles from Temu?

Who cares? The Jew-haters worldwide won't believe anything that exonerates Israel.
The fog of war and counterclaims. The other side will ignore facts in order to adhere to their narrative.
Wow. That’s incredible and I hope it’s indisputable.
There was a tweet floating around earlier by an al jazeera reporter saying he saw the missile with his own eyes and was absolutely certain it was launched by Islamic Jihad.
Has anyone asked the US Navy? I know we have a carrier offshore, probably with E-2C Hawkeyes in the air. I doubt anything moves in the air over Gaza that we don’t know about.
Interesting. That seems to be the consensus.

One Israeli official made an unfortunate tweet which Muslims claim is an admission of responsibility.
Do you happen to have a link to that tweet?
Thanks!
