The parking lot is big enough to hold 15 cars over parked. Let’s say each seat had a passenger and they were all 7 seat large SUVs. Tell me how you get to 500 dead and report it as a headline?

I could speculate that the rockets hit the parking lot ( seen a few pictures of the burnt out vehicles and read hospital had minimum damage) that it’s quite possible lots of people could have been living in cars there.

“And now we learn there is some evidence it didn’t even hit the hospital – just the parking lot and some cars. I haven’t had a chance to fully check that out, and I don’t see many outlets reporting it, but it may indeed be the case that there are few casualties.”

When you get the chance to study this, be sure to go look at this hospital from something like Google Earth. Coordinates 31deg,30’17.64″N 34deg,27’42.68″E.

I like Google Earth, because it can measure distances and areas. The entire complex, including 5 buildings around the parking lot and including the parking lot is 830 sq feet. The buildings are about 2 stories tall, and perhaps have a basement. Ask yourself, does that sound like a place where there were 500 people present at one time? Or even 400 as numbers start to come down.

You don’t need to know anything about rockets, bombs, or explosions. You don’t even need to have a political bias. Just have a sense of scale of people, structures, and area plus the willingness to actually look at the place being discussed. If you need a scale for human size, there is a cemetery across the street. Draw the same size box over it and count the number of markers.

Art Deco: the only reason I was watching CNN was that it was the only English channel news I could get in a European hotel. And while CNN’s ratings may be down in the US, I think they have greater reach in foreign capitals where the street protests have been more prominent.

our navy is full of DEI apologists, and pronoun obsessed midshipmen,

of course Gaza took the opportunity of the Hudna since 21, and the arab parties that were the tent poll behind the four cabinets before bibi and the protests to stock up to train,

I watched CNN run the story
==
Have their ratings exceeded Paw Patrol‘s recently?
==
other countries in the region are likely to get involved, and that includes the US and Russia.
==
Russia cannot conquer six square feet in the Ukraine and the Navy knows perfectly well that their commander-in-chief is demented.

So the hospital wasn’t hit by an Israeli bomb, and the explosion was an errant Hamas missile hitting a parking lot, killing a number of people.

But the problem is that the governments of Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and Morocco (and even Canada) have all endorsed the original claim that Israel bombed the hospital. And they are making foreign policy decisions based on that claim.

If Israel does invade Gaza, which seems likely, other countries in the region are likely to get involved, and that includes the US and Russia.

Strange, how it is always the Muslims who precipitate these things.
