Journalists conducted their own investigation and found out that the explosion in the hospital in Gaza City was probably caused by a rocket and not by an Israeli air strike. This was reported by CNN.
Thus, the publication's analysis shows that a rocket launched from the Gaza Strip exploded in the air, and that "the explosion in the hospital was the result of a partial landing of the rocket on the hospital complex."
"I believe this is what happened - the rocket failed and did not fall in one piece. Apparently, it fell apart in the air for some reason, and the missile body crashed into the parking lot. There, the remaining fuel caught fire and ignited cars and other fuel in the hospital, causing the big explosion we saw," Markus Schiller, a European missile expert who has worked on analysis for NATO and the EU, told CNN.
In addition, retired US Air Force Colonel Cedric Leighton said that aerial explosion explosion was "consistent with a malfunctioning missile," adding that the streak of light was consistent with "a rocket burning fuel as it tries to reach altitude."
At the same time, journalists note that without the ability to access the scene and collect evidence from the scene, "no conclusion can be final."
