Video and photographic evidence, along with eyewitness accounts, are providing some clues about Tuesday’s massive explosion at Gaza’s Al Ahli Arab Hospital, which Palestinian officials say killed hundreds.
One video, a live broadcast feed from the news channel Al Jazeera, appears to show what could be a rocket launching from a site west of the hospital. The rocket, or other object, appears to break apart high above the hospital moments before the blast.
“It’s very clear to me that this is not an airstrike.” Garlasco says. Israeli bombs typically leave craters three to ten meters in size, and are designed to create a large shockwave that propels shrapnel over a large area.
The lack of both shrapnel damage and structural damage to the hospital is inconsistent with all types of commonly used Israeli bombs and artillery shells, he says.
