Israel said Palestinian militants had misfired projectiles, but an analysis of photos and videos of Friday’s strikes shows that some of the munitions were likely fired by Israeli forces.
Hours after the final blast, the Israeli military blamed unspecified Palestinian militants, saying a “misfired projectile” aimed at Israel Defense Forces troops deployed nearby had instead hit the hospital.
But at least three of the projectiles that struck it appear to have been Israeli munitions, according to pictures of weapons fragments collected and verified by The New York Times and analyzed by experts.

Do you believe a country has a right to self-defense if it risks harming civilians in the process?
Israel has a right to defend itself. But what is currently happening will not destroy Hamas ideology. Serious efforts for a two state solution are required. But I fear that cannot happen with Hamas or Netanyahu in power.
It is not self-defence to murder over 11,000 civilians and to displace over 1 million more. That is collective punishment and that is a war crime
