TL;DR

A European military source interviewed by FRANCE 24 suggests that the explosion at al-Ahli hospital in Gaza was likely caused by a misfired rocket launched by a Palestinian faction, rather than an Israeli airstrike as claimed by Hamas. The source argues that the death toll is likely lower than announced, citing the size of the blast zone and limited structural damage. Satellite images show a small hole consistent with a rocket carrying around 5 kg of explosives. The source also questions the high death toll announced by the Gazan Ministry of Health, suggesting it may be inflated.
