#Exclusive 🧵| In light of the recent targeting of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza, the Israeli government @Israel has quickly disavowed its involvement, attempting to distort the narrative by linking the incident to Hamas.

🔻By conducting a comprehensive analysis of the events and scrutinizing live broadcast footage, surveillance camera recordings, and pictures, Eekad’s team has uncovered evidence pointing to Israel's culpability in this tragedy, supported by concrete proof.

🔻Moments after the attack on Al-Ahly Baptist Hospital in Gaza, official Israeli accounts, including Prime Minister @netanyahu, @IDF, and Israel’s official account
@Israel, disseminated fabricated stories that sought to shift blame onto Hamas:

🔻Eekad’s team collected and analyzed all available videos capturing the hospital attack. The initial lead came from a clip posted on Instagram by Al Jazeera cameraman Hamdan El-Dahdouh, which coincided with the live explosion broadcasted by Al Jazeera at 18:59 on Tuesday.

🔻Advanced software analysis of Al-Dahdouh's clip revealed that he had shared it just minutes after the hospital was struck. Furthermore, our analysis verified that his filming coordinates matched the area surrounding the hospital's strike point.

🔻A close examination of the incident video revealed that two distinct events occurred simultaneously. Israeli media exploited this situation to sow confusion and renounce their involvement in the crime.

🔻The first event involved a missile launch from within Israeli territory to intercept a salvo of missiles fired from the Gaza Strip. The second, and of greater significance, was the missile that struck the hospital. These were two separate incidents, each demanding individual investigation.

🔻Upon analyzing the initial event,locating El-Dahdouh, and following the missile's flight path, it became clear that its origin was the Gaza Strip, with Israeli settlements as the intended target. Not a single missile made contact with the hospital, challenging the narrative put forth by Israeli sources.

🔻The interception missile was evident in the footage, and a careful examination of its trajectory and Al-Dahdouh's filming location indicated that it had been fired from Israeli settlements toward the Gaza Strip, explicitly targeting the incoming missiles.

🔻A geographical analysis of the missile's route confirmed its origin to be in the surrounding Israeli settlements. The distance between the Baptist Hospital and the Gaza Strip was approximately 3.5 kilometers, which aligned with the observed distance between the hospital and the missile's launch point shown in the clip.

🔻By tracking the missile's path, we observed that it successfully intercepted a missile behind the Baptist Hospital. Explosive remnants served as undeniable confirmation of the missile's interception.

🔻While fragments from the interceptor missile were discernible in the video, it is essential to note that they did not descend upon the hospital. It is implausible that these fragments could have been the cause of the substantial explosion witnessed during the hospital attack.

🔻While Israeli sources presented this footage as evidence of a Hamas missile, it distinctly reveals a launch from Israeli settlements into Gaza, debunking their assertion.

📌To summarize the events of the first incident:

◀️A burst of missiles was launched from Gaza toward the Israeli settlements.
◀️The missile launched from Gaza did not exhibit any deviation from its trajectory; it continued straight up.
◀️An interceptor missile was launched from the bordering settlements into Gaza.
◀️Fragments from the explosion indicated that the missile coming from Gaza had been intercepted.
◀️A small explosion occurred near Baptist Hospital.

🔻To further support the aforementioned points, a surveillance camera video from the Netiv HaAsara settlement north of the Gaza Strip revealed several Hamas missiles launched upward prior to the attack.

🔻The footage presents an unambiguous trajectory of Hamas's missiles, showing no malfunction or straying toward the hospital.

🔻Now that the Israeli account surrounding the video was refuted, a fundamental question lingers: who stood behind the hospital's attack, and how has our team’s investigation brought clarity to the situation?

🔻A closer look at Al-Dahdouh’s recording reveals a two-stage explosion: an initial (minor) one, most likely due to interception remnants, and then a notably larger blast targeting the hospital.

🔻The shape of this (larger) explosion does not align with the characteristics of ground bursts resulting from falling rocket fragments.

📌 The scale of the explosion surpasses the capabilities of Hamas missiles

🔻A meticulous review of a different video, taken in proximity to the blast, allowed us to pick out the unique sound of a shell descending, with a subsequent whistling noise right before the explosion.

🔻By comparing the sound of the missile in the Baptist Hospital bombing clip with the sounds of Hamas rockets, a distinct difference is observed.

🔻Following an in-depth auditory analysis, Eekad’s team identified that the sounds captured during the Baptist Hospital bombing bear similarities to the MK-84 bombs equipped with the JDAM guidance kit, a weapon Israel has utilized in previous attacks against Gaza.

🔻By examining videos of these bombs in Afghanistan and comparing them to the Baptist Hospital attack footage, one can discern evident parallels, notably the dominant buzzing and the subsequent whistle prior to the explosion.

🔻Moreover, the smoke trail rising from the missile's strike at the hospital mirrors the smoke formation seen in videos of JDAM kit-equipped bombs used in Afghanistan.

📌The similarity points to Israeli missiles

🔻Upon scrutinizing additional footage of the explosion, a distinct spherical pattern becomes noticeable, with the flames extending from bottom to top, maintaining a uniform width. This observation affirms that the explosion resulted from a vertically descending missile possessing substantial destructive potential. This pattern closely resembles previous aerial bombardments over Gaza carried out by Israeli aircraft in current and past attacks.

📌For days, Israel has deployed this type of ammunition

🔻Hamas does not possess MK-84 bombs with JDAM technology. These specific munitions were highlighted in Israel's official military videos dated October 12 concerning their operations in the Gaza Strip. Such munitions, originating from the US, are compatible with F-15 and F-16 fighter jets that Israel frequently utilizes in its Gaza operations.

🔻A clip shared by Israeli accounts from a surveillance camera bolstered the investigation findings, confirming the launch of missile bursts from Gaza followed by an explosion precisely at 19:59, an hour after the Baptist Hospital attack.

🔻From our video analysis, we observed flares that commonly precede airstrikes in the Gaza Strip. The explosion in the video showcased a distinct resemblance in form and the resulting destruction, akin to what was evident in the Baptist Hospital attack footage recorded at 18:59. This further corroborates the notion that, even post the hospital attack, Israeli military planes continued to deploy the same kind of weaponry over the Gaza Strip.

🔻Typically, fighter jets release flares as a countermeasure against infrared-guided (heat-seekers) missiles, whether surface-to-air or air-to-air, that may be directed at them during or before an airstrike.

📌 From the conclusions drawn in this analysis, it's evident that:

◀️ Contrary to Israel's claims of a defective Hamas missile aimed at the hospital, our findings indicate it was an Israeli interception missile, with no evidence pointing to Hamas' involvement.

◀️ Falling fragments from missile interception did not strike Baptist Hospital.

◀️Our analysis strongly suggests that the hospital was hit by American-manufactured bombs fitted with JDAM munitions, deployed by the Israeli military.

🔻This tragedy constitutes yet another addition to the list of offenses committed by Israel. The act of targeting hospitals and medical facilities during times of war is a clear and reprehensible breach of international protocols, including the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law, both of which underscore the undeniable right of hospitals to protection during hostilities.

🔻Such flagrant violations are not merely breaches of international decorum; they are considered war crimes under the purview of the International Criminal Court, warranting stern legal repercussions.
