In addition to the imagery of the car park in this IDF video we now also have the first daytime image of the car park that was hit. via t.me/QudsNen/82921

Image
Here's daytime footage from the impact site at the hospital t.me/Bader12000/136…
The is the most noticeable damage to the ground, which, if it were the impact point of the munition used, would mean it's pretty small payload, although at this moment we can't know if it's not pre-existing damage, so I wouldn't want to draw conclusions from it. Image
This video shows footage from outside and inside the hospital buildings instagram.com/reel/Cyh5eGKob…
More footage from the hospital carpark. One car has been flipped over, close to where the damage ground was, so it might indicate that it was close to the impact of the munition
There's additional photos from inside the hospital and the carpark here, although be warned, there's a couple of graphic images of the remains of a child instagram.com/p/Cyh8gYluZWN/
Image
This video shows damage to one vehicle that looks very significant, and might provide some details to the exact spot the munition hit. Damage to nearly all the other vehicles seem to be from fires.

The first video I've seen that shows what seems to be an impact crater, along with scarring on the ground. instagram.com/reel/CyiI76MAv…
This video shows the location next to the impact crater, where footage from the aftermath of the attack shows multiple casualties. It appears people were camped out there, and the munition landed right next to them. t.me/Bader12000/136…
The main image from the Guardian's analysis of the attack gives a good view of the shrapnel marks from the detonated munition fanning out from the impact crater

Image
More footage from the site of the impact, shows more of the crater and surrounding shrapnel damage
I should note this claim is not consistent with the fragmentation damage emanating from the crater, and pretty much everything else that's visible at the attack site.

It's been brought to my attention that there's videos published on social media claiming I've made various statements about the US election, related to election integrity. These are part of a Russian disinformation campaign, and the quotes are fabricated, but it's nice to know the Russians hold the value of my opinions in such high regard.
I've previously discussed other videos in this campaign in the below thread:

🧵 1/7: The European Court of Human Rights has ruled in favor of Russian NGOs and media groups (including @Bellingcat), declaring Russia's "foreign agent" legislation a violation of fundamental human rights. The court found that the law imposes undue restrictions on freedom of expression & association.
2/7: The law requires NGOs & individuals receiving foreign funds to register as “foreign agents,” facing stigma, harsh reporting requirements, and severe penalties. This label implies foreign control—without proof—and misleads the public
3/7: The Court noted that the "foreign agent" label, linked to spies & traitors, damages the reputation of those designated and leads to a chilling effect on civil society and public discourse.

It's currently 9:11am, this post has 3 views, and no retweets or likes on an account with 75 followers. Let's see how long it takes for it to get several hundred retweets, and a few tens of thousands of views. Image
In the last 15 minutes, that tweet just gained 15.7k views, 187 likes, with no retweets. Two other tweets with similarly fake stores, posted around the same time, with similar profiles, have also suddenly gain a couple of hundred likes and around the same amount of views. This is, in real time, how a Russian disinformation campaign is using Twitter to promote its fake stories.Image
Image
Image
The thing is, nearly all of this engagement, apart from about 10 views and none of the likes, are entirely inauthentic. This doesn't help them reach genuine audiences, it's just boosting their stats so when they report back to their paymasters they can tell them how many views, likes and retweets they got, but they're all fake. It's effectively the people running these campaigns scamming their paymasters to make them think it's working, when it's not at all.

A new fake Bellingcat story, from a fake video claiming to be from Fox News. What's interesting about this one is I viewed the tweet 10 minutes ago, and it had 5 views, and suddenly it jumped to 12.5k, then 16.2k views in less than 5 minutes, with zero retweets or likes. Image
To me this suggests there's a bot network being used to boost views of tweets used in this disinformation campaign.
In 90 seconds this tweet just gained 154 retweets, another sign of bot activity. Image

It's clear this is a coordinated attack from pro-Orban media which they really don't want being noticed outside of Hungary, but what they don't seem to realise is I'm now going to use what they did at every presentation I do on disinformation to audiences across the world.
What's notable is the accusations made against Bellingcat were all taken (uncredited) from an article publishing by MintPress claiming we've loads of intelligence agents working for us, which even the original MintPress article fails to prove.
Which to me just means I get to add a couple more slides to the presentation I'll be doing about this, to audiences made up of exactly the sort of people they didn't want to find out about this.

State actors see alternative media ecosystems as a vehicle for promoting their agendas, and take advantage of that by not just covertly funding them, but also giving them access to their officials and platforming them at places like the UN.
A recent example of that is Jackson Hinkle going to Eastern Ukraine, then getting invited to the UN by Russia to speak at a press conference, and that footage being used by state media as evidence of "experts" rejecting the "mainstream narratives" on Ukraine.
A lack of transparency around the funding of the individuals and websites that are part of these alternative media ecosystems allows for state actors to get away with their covert influence, a clear example of which we've seen over the last 24 hours.
