Al-Marsad newspaper: The French Military Intelligence Directorate said on Friday that the explosion that occurred in a hospital in Gaza was not due to an Israeli missile strike but was most likely due to a mistake in launching a Palestinian rocket.
Palestinian officials said 471 people were killed in the explosion that occurred at the Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital late Tuesday.
The French Military Intelligence Directorate added, “There is nothing that allows us to say that it was an Israeli strike, but the most likely (scenario) is that it was a Palestinian missile that was hit by something when it was launched.”
A French military intelligence official stated, “The nature of the explosion and communication with other intelligence partners lead me to confirm that there is no evidence that it was an Israeli strike. The most likely hypothesis is a Palestinian missile that exploded with a charge of about 5 kilograms.”
