According to official information, at least 500 Palestinians were killed during the attack on the Al Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza. According to the Palestinian authorities, the explosion occurred during an air strike by Israeli forces, and Israel denies any responsibility. Channel 4 did, with the help of military experts and reporters, a new analysis in order to come to the conclusion: Who fired the missile and committed a serious war crime?
With the help of military preparedness experts as well as reporters, they were able to use satellites to find flaws in Israel’s claims about this particular attack.
The video shows the extreme firepower of the air-detonating projectiles. These projectiles are preferred against light targets or dismounted infantry, and even against troops and in trenches, but as you can see this looks like a bomb dropped from the air. The level of destruction caused by airstrikes is fascinating, but also truly terrifying. Many people assume that ground detonation munitions are more lethal than these projectiles, but this is a common misconception and although ground detonation missiles are dangerous to structures and vehicles, they have many disadvantages as the ground absorbs much of the shock wave and shrapnel directed at the target, it is stated in the first part of the analysis.
“I live near the hospital. We saw the neighboring area. We saw the bombs falling on the hospital. The explosion was huge. A big fire shot up into the sky. It was terrifying. We immediately knew it was Al-Ahli Arab Hospital. It is the oldest Christian hospital in the Gaza Strip,” said Neeza, a resident of Gaza.
Doctor Mohammad Al-Naqa said that there was no warning and that more than three thousand people took shelter there. He says that they did not know what it was, but that they found out what it could do after it targeted children who were cut into pieces, N1 reports.
