This is not the first time (or even the hundredth) that Israel warned civilians to leave to avoid civilian casualties. Hamas have often launched rockets from next to schools, hospitals and civilian areas and stored weapons in these places. I do find it revealing that people automatically assumed Israel's guilt with this hospital explosion, but needed proof before accepting that Hamas beheaded babies, raped women and burned bodies.
When will people start approaching this complex issue from an even (impartial) perspective?
Nobody needs proof that Hamas are monsters - for me at least whether they shoot in the head, behead or burn won't materially change my views on how horrible they are. I place them at the very bottom along with the other terrorist aholes. So I find this a bad comparison. But true that most countries in the region have blamed Israel right away. I saw Israel's press conference on this and I am not convinced yet because they have lied in the past, although I think it's more probable that it was a jihadist fk up. If it was Israel, I'd also be inclined to believe it was a fk up.
On your last point, it comes down to trust, and nether Gaza officials nor this current Israeli government have much credibility. This particular blast will remain a mystery unless conclusive video proof surfaces.
