    Yea, looking at the video again, I think you may be right. It looks too “Hollywood” with the giant fireball. Maybe just a propane tank exploded igniting the contents of the gas tank. Hamas may not have done anything, heard there was an explosion and blamed Israel when the fault could just be poorly maintained equipment.

      So all three of you are more knowledgable about missiles and what they look like in video vs the BBC, who has decades of experience in verifying missile strikes?

      Sorry … I’m with the BBC here.

        Link to exactly where the BBC calls it an Israeli air strike.

        All I’m seeing is “women and children dead in strike” so if you’re seeing it, they walked it back.

        At least 12 people, including young children, have been killed after a convoy of vehicles heading toward southern Gaza was hit. The Palestinian Health Ministry has blamed Israel for the attack. The Israel Defense Force (IDF) says it is investigating.

          I’ll answer your question as soon as you verify your expertise in questioning the BBC calling it a missile strike vs you saying it was a car bomb.

            No. You made the claim BBC called it a missile strike. I provided a source (with video) calling it a Vehicle Based Improvised Explosive Device. I don’t need to be the expertise, the OSINT community provided my argument. Provide yours.

            Found the Hamas apologist. God damn terrorists and their shitty pr campaigns.

            Hamas is killing Gazans whether by force or by the lies they tell them.

            This stops when Hamas has been eliminated. The Palestinian people will be free when Hamas is eliminated.

              Even if Hamas killed these 70 people (which I doubt), who killed the other 2200 in Gaza?
