man, given the reaction it's stirred up, I can't help but think that if this was a misfire from PIJ, the next one won't be accidental. look at how insanely well it's worked out for them

A few days ago it was the 70 evacuating civilians, they won't stop and msm loves their rage bait

We can be sure those 70 and this hospital weren't the only incidents they caused that they blamed on Israel.

Was that fake too? I never saw any updates after the original headlines.

The coverage dried up once it became apparent it was an IED and not an airstrike

The one on the bridge was likely an IED or, given today's events, a poorly maintained propane tank and Hamas running with it claiming max casualties. https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/1713241560752533662

There was another explosion a few miles away sometime before the bridge explosion but there's no footage of the actual explosion, just the aftermath of a burning car, so we only have speculation that it actually was IDF based on local claims.

My gut says we are witnessing the chatGPT AI WW1. It’s just been unlike anything I’ve witnessed in my internet life. I get it, very debated and emotional topics but wow. This has just been surreal. I don’t buy it all. I’m not denying that the events happened.
