Original Note:
The WSJ, CNN and AP found the explosion at Al-Ahli Hospital came from Hamas/Islamic Jihad and not Israel (also backed by US Intelligence). NYT and BBC have issued retractions of their initial stories. No other bombing of a hospital was reported prior to 10/17. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/22/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-hospital-evidence.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/18/politics/us-intel-gaza-hospital-blast/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/24/media/gaza-hospital-coverage-walk-back?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_msn https://nypost.com/2023/10/24/news/rashida-tlaib-calls-for-independent-investigation-into-gaza-hospital-blast-refuses-to-accept-us-israel-findings/?utm_source=msn_news&utm_campaign=nypost&utm_medium=referral
