Many Muslim countries are getting in on the act, including Iran &#8211; the only potentially nuclear-armed outsider mad-dog in the vicinity. Threatening escalation, region-wide demonstrations against Israel, even US Congresscritter Muslim apologists like Omar getting in the act.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Hamas-run health ministry initially claimed that between 200 and 300 people had been killed in what they said was an Israeli airstrike. They added that \u201chundreds are still buried under the rubble\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>An official later told <em>Al Jazeera<\/em> that the death toll was closer to 500.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Two clues &#8211; the rapid escalation of casualties and claiming it was an Israeli airstrike. This is one of the most scrutinized air-spaces going, and neutral observers can tell if the Israelis launched a big strike. They didn&#8217;t. So whoo did?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Footage of what appears to be an explosion at the hospital <u>emerged<\/u> from Al Jazeera Mubasher later on in the evening. A second video from an Al Jazeera live feed <u>showed<\/u> the same incident.<\/p>\n<p>That was <u>geolocated<\/u>, which involves comparing the background in the video with satellite images to corroborate the location, by GeoConfirmed, an outfit that works alongside the Centre for Information Resilience and Bellingcat, an investigative outlet that itself works with international espionage agencies.<\/p>\n<p>The location was around the Al-Ahli Arabi Baptist Hospital in <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/topic\/gaza-city\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-ylk=\"slk:Gaza City;elm:context_link;itc:0\" data-rapid_p=\"17\" data-v9y=\"1\">Gaza City<\/a>.

It also indicated that there had been little to no structural damage to the actual hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Further <u>analysis<\/u> of the two scenes, supplemented by on the ground footage posted by Mr al Masri to Instagram, showed that \u201conly 3 cars show any clear sign of kinnetic\/structural damage\u201d (sic).\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/everything-know-gaza-hospital-explosion-104221006.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall\">CNN<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There is little to no damage to the hospital itself.
