Israel hit Nasir Hospital at least four times during his deadly attack in Southern Gaza on Monday, analysis of new video footage by BBC Verifi.
The attack, which has attracted international condemnation and widespread anger, allegedly killed at least 20 people, including five journalists.
Initial reports by Gaza stated that Israel hit the hospital twice, with the first explosion, another one and another hit the first respondents and journalists, who reached the spot.
But the new analysis shows that the hospital was killed four times a total of a total of. The BBC verified and expert analysis found that the two stairs were killed almost together in the first wave, and while a single -latter attack was thought, actually two different strikes were killing the same place within a fraction of a second.
Israel does not allow international journalists to enter Gaza independently. The BBC Verifai identified additional attacks by analyzing dozens of videos provided by a freelancer on land and materials filmed by online -operated eyewitnesses.
In the first incident, an Israeli strike 10:08 Beat the outer ladder in the eastern part of the hospital at local time ,
The BBC Verifify has now identified another unpredited explosion on a northern wing ladder on a northern wing ladder at the same time, which was overshadled by a “double-tap” strike on the eastern ladder.
The new footage causes smoke growing and damage on both stairs, while emergency workers said the operating department of the hospital had become a hit.
Another video shows an injured person holding the northern ladder and the nursing director of the hospital chopped and catching blood -soaked clothes, which he said that he was worn by a nurse when she was working in the operating department when it was a hit.
NR Genzen -Jones – Director of Armament Research Services, an weapon and monsoon intelligence company – said that the footage “shows the internal damage to suit a relatively small munishan, including an entry hole that suggests a montage with a relatively flat trajectory”.
Broadly nine minutes later, while dozens of respondents and journalists gathered on the eastern ladder, the Israeli forces again featured.
While the blast was documented by the media at the time, the frame-frame analysis of the newly embossed footage clearly suggests that two different projections fired by the Israeli forces hit the hospital’s millskand on a exposed ladder, where journalists and emergency activists gathered.
Experts disagreeed on the type of mons’ used in the third and fourth attacks.
With some sages analysts with whom the BBC verified the footage identified as the projectile missiles, a directed monsion that could be removed from tanks, drones and helicopters. Several outlets in Israel have suggested that the monks used against the hospital were fired by the nearby Israeli tanks.
Experts who spoke to the BBC verification said that the blasts could not be caused by the same tank, due to quick succession in which the monks hit the hospital.
Amel Kotrarski, an analyst of the Jenes Defense Intelligence Company, said, “If these lacquer were expelled from the ground, at least two tanks would have been included, as the gap between two effects is very low,” said Amel Kotrarski, an analyst of the Janes Defense Intelligence Company. “No tank loader could re -load that fast.”
Meanwhile, Mr. Jenjen-Jons said that “at the same time the impact of two projectiles suggests that two tanks may have firing on the target simultaneously”.
Although he said it was not possible to identify the munis of certainly used, the clear physical characteristics of the flight and the pattern “a ‘multi -purpose’ tank gun projector, such as suggested the Israeli M339 model”.
The satellite image reviewed by the BBC verified the IDF Force in the north-east of Nasar Hospital and within the firing range on the day of the attack. Other armored vehicles can also be seen nearby.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said there was no additional comment on the newly identified explosions when the BBC verified.
The story of Israel’s attack has developed since Monday’s attack. It was initially stated that it had a strike in the hospital area, saying that it “bin -called persons regret any loss” and that a preliminary investigation would be opened as soon as possible, but no justification for the attack.
Prime Minister Benjamin said in the coming hours after Netanyahu that Israel was responsible and he This is “deeply regretted on tragic accident”,
On Tuesday, the IDF stated that an initial investigation found that the soldiers identified a camera posted by Hamas in the hospital area, using “IDF used to inspect the activity of the soldiers”, without providing evidence.
The IDF has not yet accepted more than one strike in the hospital, amid allegations by some international legal experts that it may have violated international law.
Deliberately carry out attacks on citizens who are excessive in relation to concrete and direct military benefits “is prohibited under the fourth Geneva Conference.
“A proper attacker should expect a number of civic casualties as a hospital is full of protected persons,” said Oxford University professor Jenina Dill said.
Prof. Dill stated that “the mere appearance of equipment that belongs to an opponent” does not mean that a hospital or medical facility loses its protected position under war laws.
