Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital massacre is horrific and words cannot describe the horror of the scenes in which Israel hastened to wash its hands of that blood and the claim that the Palestinian factions hit the hospital through a rocket that failed to reach the target.

The Israeli media in various media promote the statement of IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari, who claimed that "the analysis of the damage in the hospital through our aerial photographs shows that there was no direct hit to the hospital itself and the only damage is outside the hospital in the parking garage". Hagari claimed that the damage at the place of the explosion "is the opposite of the damage caused by any aerial ammunition, which would have been of a different nature". He added: "after a thorough investigation and study of all operational and intelligence systems (..) It was clearly confirmed that the IDF did not attack the Baptist Hospital in the Gaza Strip".

A security source excludes the Israeli theory, considering that this type of rocket with a large destructive capacity is not available to Hamas, which has "ordinary weapons", mostly Katyusha - type and mortars with a destructive capacity not exceeding twenty meters.

The source also points out that the type of rockets that hit the hospital are fired from the air through aviation, or through very large ground platforms, which in turn are not available to Hamas.

Pointing out that all Palestinian, Israeli and international reports talk about one missile and not a group of missiles, the source stresses the need to know its quality, which is done by studying the shrapnel and the remains at the crime site, the destructive area, and the amount of TNT, in addition to aerial photos that are supposed to come from a neutral party and not from Israel.

In addition, a source following up considered that the heavy shelling on Gazans will motivate them to fierce fighting against Israeli ground forces in the event of resorting to a ground operation, meaning that from now on there will be no safe zones for Israeli forces in Gaza, and therefore the Israeli army will have to use assault teams as the main force without an absolute advantage in artillery, armored technologies and aviation.

As for Hamas, it will fight on its territory with the support of the population, and the Palestinians will be able to maneuver and attack in unexpected places, especially through the use of underground tunnels.
