breakable spirit of our soldiers and our people. israel will prevail the too late as well as speaking often nighttime bloss of the gaza hospital gauze. as a mouse run, health ministry now says $471.00 people were killed in the explosion, which it called and is rarely massacre as well. says evidence shows a rocket misfired by palestinian militants, is responsible both times have not been independently confirmed. this is where the sick all supposed to be healed. instead of the arab hospital in guns, the city has become the latest casualty. in a conflict, it's costing so many lives. hundreds died in this attack. here, we would just sitting here and suddenly there was an explosion. the last shot dead
3:04 pm
on us. many people killed or many of those cool shopping the last, what palestinians who'd been seeking refuge haven't mccadney literally section on the display as well as a safe haven for women. and children who fled is really selling near the hospital bubble on the oven. like i saw this place as a refuge for them to feel safe and secure. definitely not a young brother most. there was no advanced warning before targeting and the hospital for them. however, they sent us a lot. they were more than 3000 people. you can have an myself and them displeased was a safe haven. the terrorist group home us, which rules garza lamed israel for the attack. and she is route protests have been held across the palestinian territories, including in the city of ramallah. in the westbank know craters, these are that could be as riley army says,
3:05 pm
it has proved the attack was carried out by another palestinian militant group is law make jihad and that israel is being on sadly blamed air to ground meeting. it was at the time that 6 59 pm. when the reports open, that explosion is the highly in my dining hosp. the got the seats according to our intelligence from us, check the report on this to this wasn't his stomach judge rocket that had misfired and decided to launch a global media campaign to hide what really happened golf. and meanwhile, on left to pick up the pieces from the night before knowing this conflict is fall from over. this is really military says, it has confirmed that islamic jihad was responsible for the hospital explosion. earlier i spoke to israel defense for his spokesman lieutenant colonel peter,
3:06 pm
elana, an austin, how are the investigators could be so sure so soon after the blast or what we have the most a extensive high level investigation in the immediate ultimate, just up to 7 o'clock yesterday to identify the root causes of this tragedy, and it is indeed a human tragedy. i can say that we mobilized intelligence capabilities, operational things up, an aerial footage of our own in order to confirm what we found. and what we establish was that the festival was no active idea. apple operations in that area, the area of the hospital not by air, land or sea. we identified the trajectory of the rockets launch from adjacent to the hospital towards israel. many of them crossing over into his road, but one of the ultimately following inside the gods trip, also of the uh,
3:07 pm
in the parking lot of the hospital, i have the hospital. and finally, we also our intelligence intercepted conversation between the 2 of us, the terrorist that were discussing the rocket bit promising in this moment you had had launched and that didn't actually hit the hospital. so there are 3 to confirm who's the receipt that actually exemplify it and approve. that's an offer that's uh we did not do it. no, no. so when we're looking in the, off the method of this, the transfer to the, in the hospital, we see that there are no crate tubes. um the, the, the, the damage is very limited, not risk representative of the type of strikes that we're comp probably conducting against from us in the cause to straighten the town and cut off a piece of that of that from these rarely defense forces. speaking to me out of you now marina me wrong is a military expert from the defense studies department, kings college london. and she told us who she thinks is most likely responsible for the blast. well, it is difficult to say who is responsible. um, honestly,
3:08 pm
i don't know these things can have and it could have been collateral damage. it could have been a misfired rocket, and the less we have more evidence. and that evidence would include examination, also launch side verification of the evidence provided so far. there is no way to tell who would have done that, and we have seen that and you create as well. we're at 1st, it seems very clear in the attribution is very clear. but then later on, investigations show something else. and there needs to be an independent investigation because this is a catastrophe. what has happened and those responsible need to be identified in terms of a strategy who benefits from this incident? well, in terms of benefits, let's look at uh for us at the idea and definitely for them a if,
3:09 pm
if we were to assume it was a pre mediated strike, it would be very damaging admin political terms. and we're seeing the fallout being right now was president biden, revisiting is a region. and now the meeting between um m c c and the jordanian condo part, and the boss has been cancelled due to this. so for each rail, it would definitely be very damaging, and if it was collateral damage done, it is a different story. and i'm now looking at the as a side for her mouth. again, i or it might be reasonable for one of the groups operating in garza to conduct this right. but then, and the question is what effect it has on the civilians and what effect it has on the support of the civilians. because at the end of the day, also these groups rely on the civil population in gaza. so in the, in the,
3:10 pm
in the media space there will be some benefit. however, in the long term, um, it would have ramifications for the popularity of these groups in, in, in that particular area. have these groups provided any proof for their claims? well, as of yet we don't have any prove or any evidence the posting and assignment you had denied the allegations. and this is the primary suspect as we have heard before. so we have only partial evidence disclosed by one side which needs verification. um, and in order to increase or related to riley ability of this assessment, there needs to be more evidence from multiple sources. and of course, i can understand that for military reasons, it's also difficult to disclose all the evidence to suppress. so that is why i
3:11 pm
think that an independent investigation should be made. and i think here reason should be taking the driver seat. because right now we're all in motion only taken by this blast. but you need to get to the core of the problem to see what exactly happened. there are a number on that from the different studies department as teams college alonza. and thank you very much. marina, as to miles, has so far north allows independence investigate as onto the hospital premises. i asked dw, senior international correspondent funding for char until a v. how difficult it will be to establish an unbiased account of exactly what happened very requesting. and i really would like to stress that word independent because that's what's really difficult by doing any warranty, any conflict, same in this situation, to really establish what this happened independently. for one, it's impossible for international journalist why any journalist in fact rather
3:12 pm
domestic here from these are all international journalist to verify those facts on the ground and the journalist at inside gaza strip. i pretty much trust themselves trying to make sure they, they, they, they protect their families and, and get to a safe harbor which is pretty much impossible at this point in gaza strip. and since there's no access at this point to independent organizations or journal this 2nd independently verify what happened. we basically have 2 sides of the story, one of the claim, but use well that it was a stomach jihad that many 10 group the corporates with the commerce committee. this fitted nbc are obviously from gaza strip. the claim that it was ease, route. in the meantime, obviously the pool so hard with the rest president by that has said he was a bit careful in expressing his view by saying he, if he or she didn't say it is he said it p or for that or the other team painting by by that, that he wasn't as well, but that a lot of people obviously in the region on shore. and this has exhausted the
3:13 pm
dilemma of that. also, he's always facing right now as one of the key play as t a, a in this situation, that regardless whether the version of the story is true or not. and let's assume maybe through who is going to believe them. so this level of trust that's being shaken very much in the region is really bringing the region to boarding point right now. and it just completely unclear regardless what the facts off rebuilding this particular that incident, what the consequences i going to be from here on. now it's funny, just 24 hours ago. it looked like a diplomatic window was opening. it's in the financing has that window. now, closed diplomacy is always ongoing and, and politics even if it appears that 24 hours later now everything seems to be completely going out of control. one has to, on the line that even though you as president biden is not going to meet in person . now the head of the policy and authority,
3:14 pm
mr. abbas are they has all of jordan and egypt in i'm on, which was scheduled to take place tomorrow. he did a reiterate that he is in close got to be there will lead us to all the stakeholders here, making sure that there is no further escalation, that the conflict is not widening. but this is exactly the question, the fuel message that may be sent to the road by the fact that president by then was only be able to talk to instruct, promised. and that then, you know, what's really the message here to the region of the, of was due on the line have a, that is there is any possible breakthrough by the us putting a, some influence of the on, on these are all, some breaks when flying to deliver aids to people in gaza strip, making sure that that's close the roof of border crossing reopens and, and it can get through that this may result in some sort of, of the escalation. also, it may be possible that they can somehow influence that this is expected. a ground defensive may not be as big as maybe it has been planned. after all,
3:15 pm
it's been delayed now for a for many days since it wasn't, gosh, initially i talked about a lot of question marks they for, and it's just on see how things are going to go on and exactly what the impact of us presidents, 5 and visit is going to have here in israel and in the region as a whole. it obviously the, it's a national correspondent. funny such all the intel to be for us. thank you. funding to the cottage as a gauze a hospital has inflamed emotions, in many parts of the world, protest erupted across the middle east and well, lead us on calling for accountability the fusion with the explosion of the only other possibility in doing some products are taking place in libya and humans and dig around among others no more.
