The Truth Behind the Alali AL Maani Hospital Strike in Gaza
Introduction
Hey there, middle schoolers! Today, we're going to talk about an incident that happened in Gaza. The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) recently did a review and found out that the Islamic Jihad was responsible for a strike at the alali AL maani Hospital. Let's dive into the details!
What Happened?
On Tuesday, October 17th at 6:15 p.m., Hamas fired a bunch of rockets towards Israel. Then, at 6:59 p.m., the Islamic Jihad fired around 10 rockets from a nearby cemetery. Unfortunately, one of these rockets misfired and caused an explosion at the alali AL maani Hospital in Gaza City.
Hamas' Cover-Up
Instead of admitting their mistake, Hamas decided to launch a global media campaign to hide what really happened. They even inflated the number of casualties to make it seem worse than it actually was. Sneaky, right?
Evidence from Aerial Footage
The IDF analyzed aerial footage to get to the bottom of things. They found that the hospital itself wasn't directly hit. The only damage was outside in the parking lot, where there were signs of burning. There were no craters or structural damage to nearby buildings, which would have been caused by a different kind of attack.
Size of the Damage
The damage we see in the parking lot is due to the warhead of the Islamic Jihad rocket. Most of the rocket's propellant is still evident because it didn't fly very far. If it had been a successful launch, we would have seen craters and more damage.
Visual Evidence
The IDF shared infrared imagery of the parking lot, which showed fires and debris on rooftops. However, there were no craters to be found. This further supports the fact that it wasn't an aerial attack.
No Structural Damage
After the strike, the building's walls remained intact, and there were no craters. This is not what an aerial attack would look like. The evidence clearly shows that it wasn't caused by the IDF.
Hamas' Lies
Many media outlets immediately reported the unverified claims made by Hamas. But guess what? They were spreading lies! Unlike Hamas, the IDF conducted an immediate examination to find out the truth.
The Examination Process
The IDF followed a thorough examination process to uncover the truth. Here are the four main parts:
1. No IDF Fire
The IDF confirmed that they didn't fire anything that hit the hospital. So, it wasn't their fault.
2. Radar Tracking
The IDF's radar system tracked rockets fired by terrorists from within Gaza at the time of the explosion. This shows that the rockets were fired close to the hospital.
3. Intelligence and Communication
The IDF had intelligence and intercepted communication between terrorists talking about the rocket misfiring. They specifically mentioned the alali AL maani Hospital. This further proves that it was the Islamic Jihad's rocket that caused the explosion.
4. Sharing the Evidence
The IDF shared all the evidence with their partners, including the United States, to ensure transparency. They take incidents involving civilians very seriously.
Evidence to Support the Truth
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) did a thorough investigation to find out what really happened. They looked at aerial footage, radar systems, and even intercepted conversations between the terrorists. All of this evidence confirmed that it was the Islamic Jihad's rocket that caused the explosion.
No Direct Hit to the Hospital
Now, let's talk about the damage. The IDF found that the hospital itself wasn't directly hit. The only damage was outside in the parking lot. There were signs of burning, but no craters or structural damage to nearby buildings. This shows that it wasn't an aerial attack like some people claimed.
Hamas Spreading Lies
Unfortunately, some media outlets immediately believed the lies spread by Hamas, a group that controls Gaza. They blamed Israel without waiting for the IDF's investigation. It's important to remember that accuracy and credible information should come before speed when reporting news.
Conclusion
The incident at the Alali AL Maani Hospital was caused by a misfired rocket from the Islamic Jihad, not Israel. It's a reminder of how false and baseless allegations can spread, especially when made by terrorists. Always seek the truth and don't believe everything you hear!
