The attack, which attracted international condemnation and widespread anger, reportedly killed at least 20 people, including five journalists.

Gaza’s first reports, Israel hit the hospital twice, watched the first explosion by someone else nine minutes later and hit the first intervention teams and journalists.

However, the new analysis shows that the hospital was shot four times. BBC Verification and Expert Analysis, in the first wave, almost two staircases were shot at the same time, and what was thought to be a later attack was actually two separate strikes that hit the same place in a second.

Israel does not allow international journalists to enter Gaza independently. BBC Verify analyzed dozens of videos by a freelancers and dozens of videos that were filmed by eyewitnesses circulating online.

An Israeli strike in the first event Shoot the external ladder on the east side of the hospital with local time at 10:08 (07:08 GMT) kills Hussam Al-Masri, a journalist who feeds a live TV for Reuters.

BBC Verify has now described an explosion on a north -wing staircase that was overshadowed with a “double touch” strike on the eastern staircase.

New images, while both staircase rise and damage, while emergency workers were hit by the hospital’s surgery department, he said.

Other videos show that a wounded person has moved in the north of the north and has a grated and bloody clothes that the hospital’s nursing manager said that he was worn by a nurse while working in the surgery department.

NR Jenzen -Jones – The Director of Arms Research Services, a weapon and ammunition intelligence company – images show that “a relatively small ammunition, including an input hole that proposes an ammunition with a relatively flat orbit”.

About nine minutes later, the first intervening and journalist gathered on the eastern staircase, while the Israeli forces filed again.

Speaking with BBC experts, ammunition hit the hospital due to the rapid succession of the explosions can not be caused by a single tank, he said.
