Thanks to the investigative work of Information Liberation (Chris Menahan) and "Lord Bebo" (@MyLordBebo on Twitter / X), there is now compelling video evidence that Israel bombed the al-Ahli hospital grounds using an "air burst" bomb, and that Israel likewise also bombed the streets near the al-Quds hospital a day later.

Since the Oct. 17th horrific bombing of the al-Ahli hospital -- which Gaza health officials say resulted in the deaths of over 500 Palestinian people -- there has been fierce debate in the media and across online discussion groups about whether the bomb was launched by Jihadi forces (specifically, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or PIJ) or the Israeli military. Each side has vehemently pointed the finger at the other side, and initial observations raised legitimate questions about whether the incident could be attributed to an Israeli bomb strike at all.

In case you have not seen the verified video explosion that rocked the hospital grounds, here's a Brighteon video showing the damage, which also names the "MK-84 air bomb" as the likely ordnance that was used:

Those initial observations -- which seemed conclusive to many observers -- included:

- The fact that the al-Ahli hospital building structures were not hit by any explosion and did not sustain serious damage. This led many people to question how 500+ people could have been killed.

- The fact that there was no large crater in the parking lot, which at first appeared to be the epicenter of the explosion.

- The fact that Jihadi forced had been launching crude rockets at around the same time the explosion rocked the al-Ahli hospital. This seemed to be consistent with Israel's claim that an errant PIJ rocket was responsible for striking the hospital grounds.
