Shocking audio reveals Hamas panic after Islamic Jihad rocket strikes Gaza hospital
Shocking audio appears to expose Islamic Jihadists as the culprits behind the deadly missile strike on a Gaza City hospital on Monday that left at least 500 people dead.
The conversation between Hamas operatives claims a failed Islamic Jihad rocket launch was responsible for the massive blast at the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital on October 17, 2023.
“I’m telling you this is the first time that we see a missile like this failing and so that’s why we are saying it belongs to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” the Hamas operatives are recorded saying.
“They are saying it belongs to Palestinian Islamic Jihad.”
One Hamas operative asks for clarification over who’s responsible: “Was it us?” To which the other replies: “It looks like it!”
The Hamas operative continues: “They are saying that the shrapnel from the missile is local shrapnel and not Israeli shrapnel.”
The panic-stricken Hamas terrorist then says: “But god bless. It couldn’t have found another place to explode?”
To which the first operative says: “Nevermind, yes, they shot it from the cemetery behind the hospital.”
The bombshell audio leak comes after Hamas militant group blamed the blast on an Israeli airstrike, while the Israeli military blamed a rocket misfired by other Palestinian militants. At least 500 people were killed, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said.
Rage at the hospital carnage spread through the Middle East as US President Joe Biden landed in Israel in hopes of stopping a spread of the war, which started after Hamas militants attacked towns and cities across southern Israel last week.
After Joe Biden came down the stairs of Air Force One, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately went in to embrace the American leader.
Jordan’s foreign minister said his country canceled a meeting there between Biden, Jordan’s King Abdullah II, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi. Biden will now visit only Israel, a White House official said.
The war between Israel and Hamas was “pushing the region to the brink”, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi told state-run television in the wake of the devastating hospital strike.
The Israeli military held a briefing Wednesday morning laying out its case for why it was not responsible for the explosion at the al-Ahli Hospital. It was not firing in the area, Israeli military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said.
Instead, Hagari said, Israeli radar confirmed a rocket barrage fired by the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad from a nearby cemetery at that time of the blast, around 6:59 p.m. Independent video showed one of the rockets in the barrage falling out of the sky, he said.
The misfired rocket hit the parking lot outside the hospital. Were it an airstrike, there would have been a crater there; instead, the fiery blast came from the misfired rocket’s warhead and its unspent propellant, he said.
Since the war began, roughly 450 rockets fired at Israel by militant groups had landed in Gaza, the military said.
