The Gaza ministry of health announced that Israeli aircraft targeted the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital for cancer patients.
Photos from the hospital Facebook page shows minor damage that could have come from a nearby airstrike, or from a terror rocket.. There is no hole in the wall that they show.
Some news reports said it was "destroyed."
So I looked for video or pictures of this destruction.
One video shows "the moment the hospital was hit." I see a lot of smoke, but no visible damage to the building.
Finally, there is a video where an employee walks through the mostly undamaged hospital to show the videographer the major damage: what appears to be part of a wall that fell in, but it did not look like it was an outside wall.
Finally I found a photo that showed some real rubble, and it looks like a window was shattered. This is clearly not the damage from an Israeli missile.
It is certain that Israel didn't "target" the hospital as they claim. It may have been shrapnel from a nearby IDF attack, but it appears at least as likely that this was a Gaza rocket that fell short.
