How long before Rashida Tlaib is using this story to prove Israel actually DID DO IT?!
An Al Jazeera digital investigation found no grounds for the Israeli army's claim that the strike on the al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza was caused by a failed rocket launch. pic.twitter.com/DQsrBXfwmL

Good ol' Al Jazerra, doing their part to feed as much anti-Semitism and misinformation as they can. It must be hard work carrying water for terrorists.
This, of course, has already been debunked.
This 'investigation' is flawed. It concludes that the al-Ahli hospital explosion was from an Iron-Dome intercepted rocket that fell/exploded.

This is demonstrably untrue as the Iron-Dome is a terminal-phase interceptor. It does not intercept in the launch phase. https://t.co/qx7AdhMKgl pic.twitter.com/szwivwjFxy
Womp womp womp.
This is why it can be known as the 'Iron-Dome shield', each missile battery can defend against ~150km2 and targets the rockets towards the end of their trajectory, after the fuel has burnt off and the trajectory is more predictable. pic.twitter.com/DPxI2iLA9b

What he said.
You can see this in this video, where the rockets are struck after reaching the peak of their trajectory and at the beginning of the descent-phase https://t.co/SSzDFRx8fJ

Looks like they already deleted the video.
It's also why the photos you see of the iron dome are interceptions over Israeli cities; that is where they get intercepted, as the enter the 'protected zone', and decidedly not over Gaza. pic.twitter.com/yDkQuCSvgY

... decidedly not over Gaza.
Huh.
I also apologise for slightly misundertsanding al-Jazeera, they claim something even more implausible:
— Nathan Ruser (@Nrg8000) October 19, 2023
That the rocket was intercepted and destroyed, and that a separate, unrelated strike hit the hospital a few seconds later.
This is obviously not plausible for many reasons.
Honesty in a fact-checker? WHOA.
It takes some real mental gymanstics to see a rocket failing in midair & an explosion almost directly underneath it happening seconds later and conclude (without evidence) that these events are entirely unrelated and that the explosion was from a completely independent strike.
— Nathan Ruser (@Nrg8000) October 19, 2023
That's why it's called propaganda.
Especially when footage from the site of the explosion is entirely incosistent with an airstrike and entirely consistent with a small munition and a hell of a lot of fuel accelerant.

Another clearly incorrect element of their investigation is that the white specks (red) they claim are 'clearly Iron Dome intercepts' were, in the clip they literally posted, over Gaza within 3 seconds of the barrage (yellow) starting. with WAY more altitude than the rockets. pic.twitter.com/X5evkL4eFw
— Nathan Ruser (@Nrg8000) October 19, 2023
Either these specks are something other than an Iron-Dome intercept of that barrage - which makes sense considering theyre floating like an illumination flare and not moving at Mach 2.2 - or the Iron Dome can preempt and begin to intercept rockets before they have been launched.

In other words ...
It took all of like five minutes for someone to debunk Al Jazeera's new conspiracy theory. https://t.co/6WZkGZEXRs

Psh, probably less than that.
