The IDF published evidence that it claims shows Israel didn’t bomb the hospital in Gaza, including that there’s no crater. This report pretty convincingly identifies the crater https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2023/10/18/identifying-possible-crater-from-gaza-hospital-blast/
@micahflee Yeah, that looks like a crater from a rocket. A 1,000-2,000 lb bomb would leave a much bigger crater. I have no dog in this hunt, but I am unconvinced. Peace and justice to Palestinians.
@Runyan50 @micahflee one thing that is well documented is that the IDF uses munitions that can detonate at specified elevations. For example, they use them to do their "warning knock" bombs. Low tech weapons rely on hitting the ground to explode. High tech weapons make that controllable to enable maximum damage. Detonating at 10m means blast/shrapnel will cover a much larger area. The nuke on #Nagasaki, was at 580m. You can also see this in anti-tank weapons, they explode 1-2m above the tank.
@Runyan50 @micahflee There is that video, but its pretty grainy and hard to confirm anything. It could just as easily be an incoming artillery shell that was fired to try to hit the rocket launchpad.
@eighthave @micahflee Then there is a video of rockets being launched and a nearby explosion as one failed.
