Human Rights Watch: Explosion at Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza Caused by Palestinian Rocket
(Human Rights Watch) Human Rights Watch said Sunday the explosion that killed and injured many civilians at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza on Oct. 17, 2023, resulted from an apparent rocket such as those commonly used by Palestinian armed groups, that hit the hospital grounds. The sound preceding the explosion, the fireball that accompanied it, the size of the resulting crater, the type of splatter adjoining it, and the type and pattern of fragmentation visible around the crater are all consistent with the impact of a rocket. Evidence makes the possibility of a large air-dropped bomb, such as those Israel has used extensively in Gaza, highly unlikely.
